Voting Begins

After the submission period ends our judges will vote on the podcasts using predetermined criteria. We try to be as fair as possible by finding unbiased judges, but tastes are always subjective.

The PopCon Podcast Awards, now in it’s 4th year under PopCon, was created to recognize the talent and efforts of podcasters from across the globe. 

Originally created by John Graham, of the INDYpendent Creator Show, who felt that podcasters were underappreciated for all their tireless work.

PopCon stepped in, after two successful years, to take the awards to the next level expanding the categories and moving beyond the original scope of Indiana.
