Hi all!

The Podcast Awards nominations are now open!

Nominations are being taken from now thorough 23:59PM
September 30, 2008.

I find it far harder and harder to wait for my weekly WDWRadio fix.

After being voted "Best Travel Podcast" Award Winner of the 2007,

lets keep our favorite podcaster and show in the running for 2008.

PodcastAwards.com

The top 10 shows based on the amount of nominations will go on to the voting stage.

Go to this page to copy the address of WDWRadio:

Disney Podcast at WDW Radio - Your Walt Disney World Information Station

Please join me

in showing support and appreciation for what I feel is
The Best Disney Podcast "on the air"
by nominating it, once again, as the

"Best Travel Podcast".

How many times are you allowed to nominate? Once a day?

**MickeyBabe** · 09-17-2008, 04:33 PM

I believe the rules have been updated and will be held to a more strict standard. Please read them closely before nominating and voting.

Here is a link to the rules....

PodCastAwards.com

From what I see, at the present time, you may nominate only once.

Once the podcasts are narrowed down to the Top 10 Nominees, you will be able to vote once a day during the voting portion of the awards.

For now, let's just make sure WDWRadio

is chosen to be among the shows that we will be voting on.

After asking for a bit of clarification about eligibility we need to avoid including nominations for "People's Choice" or "Best Produced" due to restrictions and sticking with the "Best Travel Podcast" category only.

This fell off too quickly last night. Note what catagory they are trying for this year!

**GIOny** · 09-18-2008, 11:54 AM

just a heads up to everyone, it just took me a long time to fill that page out with all the nominations and the web addresses, I could only put WDW Radio down in 3 catagories (those are the rules), but after I submitted it the page expired and now I have to do it all over again

so just work faster then I did

Knowing that it timed out on you I tried to go really fast. It was a success. I voted People's Choice, Travel and Entertainment. What categories did other people do?

Thanks for posting this last night, Gabe!

I would like to stress the eligibility problem Gabe found last night....

Eligibility:

Sites that have won People's Choice or Best Produced in the years 2006-2007 are not eligible to win People's Choice and Best Produced
Sites that have won People's Choice or Best Produced in 2007 are not elgible to win in any category.

To clarify this a little further, if WDWRadio ends up winning in either of these categories, it will not be eligible to win any award at all next year!

So I am requesting that people nominate WDWRadio for "Best Travel Podcast" only.

Thank you all for your support!
