The site joins PodcastAwards.com and several expos and conventions that plan awards relating to podcasting. "A media market such as Podcasting deserves its own event to recognize industry pioneers, leaders and top program talent," said TopCast awards event founder Peter W. Bowman. "The online podcasting audience will select their nominations for the individual awards directly at the topcast.org website." The TopCast Awards feature categories such as Best Podcast Host, Best Co-Host, the Pioneer Award for industry leadership, many general category awards such as Best News, Sports and Entertainment Podcast and even categories for Best Kids and Best Local Podcast. In all, over thirty category nominations are included in this year's TopCast Awards program. According to Bowman, online TopCast nominations will end on June 15, 2005, and finalists will be announced in early September with a live awards event to be held in New York City on November 5, 2005. "We are excited at the immediate response we have received online with nominations, and we will continue to expand the program as additional interest evolves," concluded Bowman. CommentsOne of the nomination criteria is that the podcast must "Have a recognized legal business, corporation or organization within the United States". I suspect not even The Daily Source code would therefore qualify. Posted by: Georgia at April 6, 2005 08:52 PM I wouldn't take that "Have a recognized legal business" stuff seriously....it's just legal mumbo-jumbo. I'd say nominate away!! And leave it up to them to decide on that part.... Posted by: Anita at April 7, 2005 12:12 AM The vast majority of podcasts operating in the U.S. don't have a legal business, corporation, or organization. They're just individuals.
