BLUE FALCONRY
We are all respected personnel, so don't be a BF and try to rig the system. Ask your listeners to vote, but if you cheat, my team will know and reserve the right to disqualify any show.
PODCAST ELIGIBILITY
To ensure the validity of our podcasters, and to keep out "calls to action", we require all podcast applicants to be registered with Apple. Your show link will be required.
All shows must have a minimum of 10 published episodes.
Applicants must select the category used when registering with Apple. It will be verified, so if you want to change categories, you must first change with Apple.
MILSPOUSE
We appreciate the sacrifices you give as well and incorporated a place for you! While the main 19 categories are reserved for military members, you will have one award for the Top MilSpouse Podcast. When registering, select the main category you are in on Apple, followed by "MilSpouse" (i.e. Comedy - MilSpouse).
ADVERTISING
Podcasters can and should provide instructions in their show and/or on their sites requesting votes. After all, your listeners are voting!
REGISTRATION PERIOD
Podcasters may register, free of charge, from June 1 - July 31. Only one registration will be allowed.
LISTENER VOTING
Listeners may register and vote for a show in each category from August 4 - September 18. You will be notified prior to the voting start date.
TOP NOMINATION NOTIFICATION
