 Nominate us in the Podcast Awards | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 2:08

It’s that time of year again: the nominations process for the 9th Annual Podcast Awards has begun and we’re asking our community to nominate Coffee Break Spanish, Coffee Break French or Coffee Break German for an award. As we’ve said before, this isn’t really our style and we don’t like “asking for your vote”, but we figure that everyone else is asking for votes at the moment so why not! We’d like you to nominate Coffee Break Spanish, Coffee Break French or Coffee Break German in the People’s Choice and the Education categories. You should be aware that you can only submit your nomination form once, so feel free to nominate other podcasts you listen to in the other categories. The nomination period closes on 15th October. When the nominations have been received by the organisers they will review all nominations and later in the year the voting period will begin. Among other things they’re measuring engagement with audiences, so they (and we!) are hoping that audiences will vote daily for their favourite shows from the shortlist of nominations. If we’re shortlisted we’ll let you know! To nominate Coffee Break Spanish, Coffee Break French or Coffee Break German, go to http://podcastawards.com and fill in the form. Thank you very much – muchas gracias – merci beaucoup – vielen Dank!
