We are thrilled to announce the launch of the brand new Signal Awards! Signal aims to recognize the people and companies setting the standard of excellence in podcasting.

The Webbys had an incredible view of the growth of the podcast industry. Since they launched dedicated podcast honors over 7 years ago the number of podcasts entered each year has almost doubled. It’s exciting to see the Signal Awards join the industry.

Over the last few years podcasting has proved to be a dynamic industry, which has taken over cultural conversations and advertising budgets. Entering the Signal Awards shows a commitment to honoring this innovative new artform and the impact podcasting has for digital storytelling–from changing the way we see the world, to even the way we see one another.

The Signal Judging Academy is made up of a panel of esteemed industry leaders and podcasting pros, like the Director of Podcast Content at HBO Max Michael Gluckstadt, Lemonada Media Founder and CEO Jessica Cordova Kramer, Co-founder & Executive Director of Campaign Zero and host of Pod Save the People DeRay Mckesson, Co-founder of Kitchen Sisters Nikki Silva, host of This Day in Esoteric Political History Jody Avirgan and Rae Votta, Global Editorial and Publishing/Podcasts at Netflix.

We encourage you to enter your podcasts across the following categories: Shows, Limited Series & Specials, Individual Episodes and Branded Shows & Advertising, with comprehensive categories ranging from Most Innovative Audio Experience to TV & Film Recaps and Best Editing.
