How (and Why) to Budget for Podcast Awards in 2026

Podcast awards can offer numerous benefits beyond just winning. Whether you become a nominee or a winner, entering a podcast awards competition enhances visibility, builds credibility, and showcases expertise. And being an “award-nominated” or “award-winning” show can help attract guests and collaborators, increase media exposure and the potential for podcast app feature opportunities, and open up avenues for monetization.
So how should you budget for podcast awards submissions in 2026? What are key awards and their success rates for recognition? And how can podcast awards move the needle towards your overall show and audience goals?
Join us for this exclusive webinar presented by The Podglomerate's SVP of Marketing & Audience Development Joni Deutsch and Sounds Profitable's Bryan Barletta.
