The Parsec Awards recognize the best in speculative fiction podcasting.

Shows are nominated by fans, finalists are chosen by a steering committee, and the winners are voted on by an independent panel of judges. The winners are announced each year at Dragon*Con.

Nominations are open through May 31, 2016.

What is a “podcast”?

For the purposes of the Parsec Awards, we consider a podcast to be  audio or video delivered as part of a syndicated series can be downloaded or streamed online. Listeners or viewers must be able to subscribe to updates that are either delivered automatically or are made available to the subscriber in some aggregated format.
