Top-quality nominations for the European Podcast Award
Over 600 audio podcasts from 11 nations have already been nominated for the European Podcast Award. According to an announcement made by the initiative hosting the contest with the support of Olympus Audio Systems, most of the podcasts are of very high quality. Proposals for nominations are still being accepted until 15 September.
The award has “reached” almost every podcast producer in Europe in just a few weeks and is being much talked about.
The European dimension of the award is new and unique. “The podcasts offer an impressive variety of languages and creativity, and it’s simply fun listening to Europe,” explained social media expert Nicole Simon, who oversees the official EPA blog (http://blog.european-podcast-award.eu/).
Nicole Simon has been blogging and podcasting for years and has noticed a “quiet boom” in podcasting internationally: “Audio is quick and flexible to produce, especially using high-quality, affordable, mobile recorders. Podcasts can be listened to almost anywhere and also in the background – no other medium offers this combination.” Universities, institutes and associations in particular have realised this and are already reaping the benefits.
Votes for the award can be cast online for all podcasts nominated at http://www.europan-podcast-award.eu. As an extra incentive, voters will have the opportunity to win a brand new Olympus-LS-10 high-end PCM recorder, which is already being named the “pocket studio” and has wowed audio experts around the world.
Awards will finally be given to the podcasts by a panel of experts, who will be judging the candidates on content, creation, continuity and presentation.
