Podcast Awards Open for Nominations
Tuesday, July 4th, 2006The 2006 People’s Choice Podcast Awards are officially open for nominations. The 2005 Awards Ceremony was the highlight of the Portable Media Expo last year in Ontario, California (it was like podcasters had their own Academy Awards), and I suspect it will be an enjoyable event this year as well. Awards will be given in categories such as Peoples Choice, Best Produced, Business, Comedy, Gaming, Food and Drink, and More. Make a point to vote for your favorite podcasts as these awards are your opportunity to honor your favorite podcasters for their efforts to inform and entertain.
Sponsorship opportunities are still available as well.
