Update on the 2006 People’s Choice Podcast Awards

Posted on by

Honolulu, Hawaii – July 31, 2006 – /PR Newswire/ — Podcast Connect, Inc., a leading podcast marketing firm and manager of the People’s Choice Podcast Awards at PodcastAwards.com, today announces an update on the progress of the 2006 People’s Choice Podcast Awards.
Over the 15 day period from the 1st to the 15th of July, 3285 shows were nominated from a submission pool of 875,000 nominations. A team of volunteers reviewed, listened and graded over 500 podcast sites and shows in order to determine the final voting slate. Recognized were the top five shows in 22 categories for a total of 110 shows representing a very diverse range of subjects. New categories for this year included the Best Podcast Directory and Best Mobile Podcast. Voting commenced on the 28th of July and will continue through the 11th of August at http://www.podcastawards.com.
Podcast Connect congratulates all of the nominees and looks forward to announcing the winners on the 15th of August and presenting the Awards at the upcoming Podcast and Portable Media Expo in September.
Todd Cochrane, founder of the Awards, explains that the nomination review process was tedious, but laced with anticipation. The makeup of the slate of nominated shows has changed dramatically from last year which is to be expected due to the number of new shows making their debuts in the podcasting space over the past 12 months.
The 2006 People’s Choice Podcast Awards has been made possible by the generous support of fine sponsors, including StreetIQ.com, our platinum sponsor for a second year in a row. The sponsors have donated trophies and prizes to recognize the hard work and creativity of podcasters worldwide. Stephen Malaster, the host of Raising Your StreetIQ, will be on hand to co-present the Awards to the winners during the awards ceremony.

I am quite happy as we have secured the Platinum Sponsor and Two Gold Sponsors, so we are in good shape with only 2 Gold Sponsorships remaining and virtually all the Silver spots which tend to fill up near the start of the contest we have added a new sponsorship category this year which will help us cover the added cost of the new trophy design.

Podcast Awards Sponsorship Drive Underway!

Posted on by

Well we are six months away from the start of the 2006 People’s Choice Podcast Awards and I have sent all of last years sponsors an invitation to participate again this year as they are being given the option to jump on board first. I was happy to see this morning that PodKive.com is the first company to jump on board with a sponsorship for a second year in a row.
If your company would like to become one of the Sponsors for the 2006 People’s Choice Podcast Awards details can be found at PodcastAwards.com

Podcast Awards 2005

Now that we have the first year of the Podcast Awards behind us it is time to kick it up for 2006, I want to kick it up in a big way. In order to do that and make it like the Grammys we will need to raise a small fortune in cash. Here is what I am thinking.
500 Person Banquet Ticket Price Subsidized
Top Notch Keynote Speaker
Video Simulcast
Major Prize Packages
Of the top of my head I think this will run about $50,000 if I want to really kick this thing up we can fly the winners in, and will need to raise even more money. To pull this off I am going to need someone that can help secure some major sponsors. If you want to be involved in what could turn out to be the beginning of something really big and will draw major press coverage send me a e-mail [email protected] this position will be commission based.
