Q&A

How do the Women Podcasters Awards work?

This is a people choice style of awards, not a judged awards. You will ask for votes for your show during the voting phase. It's an opportunity to connect with your audience and build listener loyalty and community. Upon registering, you will get access to a nominee hub where you can access all the updates, information and resources.

Who can submit a nomination?

We don't allow submissions from assistants, VAs, networks or 3rd parties of any kind. Submissions must only be submitted by the host and owner of a podcast.

What are some of the changes in 2026?

We've done some improvements again this year based on valuable feedback from nominees:

  • You can now be a nominee and a sponsor. This was highly requested. Sponsors get extra perks.

  • For podcasts and broadcasts, nominations are per podcast or show. not per person/host. You can submit multiple hosts under one show. This was how it was done the first year, we just tried it out the other this past year, and now we're switching back.

  • If you are submitting a nomination for a podcast type, you must have am RSS feed from a podcast host and be listed in Apple and Spotify. This has always been a rule, but we are emphasizing it this year with requiring the Apple and Spotify links, because a handful of people submitted shows last year that were not actual podcasts with an RSS feed. In that case, simply use the Broadcast nomination.

What are the awards types and podcast categories?

Award Types: Podcast, Broadcast, Expert Guests, and Podcast Producers.
