What happens if I win a PodChoice Award?

First of all, this is a beautiful moment in your podcasting journey and you should be proud of your achievement! Our team will reach out to congratulate you with a personalized award kit you can use to proudly show off your new milestone. (Picture your podcast cover art but with our official "PodChoice Awards Best New Show of the Year" banner tastefully added for the world to see.) Expect this moment to be the first of many as we build a long-term relationship with you and your show.

How do I submit my show?

Our submission process is quick and easy. Click here to choose your desired entry package and fill out your show details to confirm your show.

Can I nominate my podcast for multiple PodChoice Awards?

Absolutely. Submit your show using the "all relevant categories" option to be entered for all PodChoice Awards we consider relevant to your show. It's common for a show to be considered for 10 or more award categories with just one submission.

When is the deadline for submission?

Our deadline for entry is August 31st, 2024.

Are there any discounts for independent podcasters or non-profits?

We believe that every podcaster deserves an equal opportunity for recognition regardless of their current level of funding. If you're unable to cover the entry fee, please email us at support@podchoiceawards.com to apply for a fee waiver.

Is there a limit to how many episodes I can submit?

There is no limit to the amount of episodes you can submit. Simply repeat the submission process for each desired episode.

I'm a fan of someone's show, can I nominate their show for consideration?

We totally understand that feeling of wanting to see your favorite podcaster succeed. While we want to foster that fandom, we also want to respect the copyright material of everyone involved. Instead, please encourage your favorite podcaster to submit their show for consideration!

Can I submit a podcast that isn't currently active?

Of course! As long as the podcast meets the eligibility criteria, you can submit an inactive podcast for consideration.

Are there any content restrictions for submitted podcasts?

Podcasts should adhere to the content and production quality standards specified here. Obscene content, hate speech, or any form of discrimination will not be accepted.

How will I know if my show has won a PodChoice Award?

This will be pretty hard to miss, we won't shut up about it. (But our serious answer is to keep an eye on your inbox.)

How are submissions judged?

Each submission is judged by multiple factors, including originality, content quality, and the performance of the host(s). For a detailed list of judging criteria, click here.

Can I update my submission after it's been sent?

If you've made an error in your submission, please reach out to support@podchoiceawards.com for assistance. While we will do our best to assist on a case by case basis, submissions cannot be modified after they've been judged.

Can podcasts that are exclusive to a single platform (like Spotify) be submitted?

Absolutely! We strongly encourage exclusive shows to be submitted for consideration.

Can international podcasts participate?

Yes! We welcome participation from all parts of the world. While we're currently only able to judge submissions in English, we hope to expand our judging process to other languages in the coming years.

Are first-time or new podcasts eligible for submission?

Absolutely. Submissions are judged based on quality of content, there is no requirement for the length of time a podcast has been established.
