Guideline & Judging Criteria
1. WHAT IS A PODCAST?
A Podcast is an audio programme, similar to Talk Radio. The only difference is that the audience can choose to listen to whatever and whenever they like. Usually, podcasts will be focusing on a certain theme or topic.
2. PODCAST SEGMENT
There are 3 (THREE) main segments in every podcast: Intro, Main Content and Outro.
Intro: Tell the listeners who you are (host/ announcer), and why they should listen to your podcast. Most importantly, the podcast intro script needs to tell the listeners what the podcast is intended for them (purpose/ theme/ topic).
Main Content: The primary content of the podcast could be a guest interview, a monologue podcast format, games, or even an audio drama. This content is typically the longest portion of the podcast.
Outro: The ending of a podcast often provides a summary, ask a question or tease the next segment. In the outro, the host or announcer can direct the listeners to a specific call to action, such as “rate, review and subscribe to this podcast” or “follow me on Instagram”. This segment is key to building an audience beyond the podcast.
Apart from the main segments, podcast also can include:
Music/ Song/ Jingle
Commercial/ Advertisement
Public Service Announcement (PSA)
3. PODCAST CONTEST GUIDELINE
Participants are REQUIRED to choose a THEME.
Each entry MUST be submitted in mp3 format and length 10 to 15 minutes duration.
3.1 THEME: TIME/ DISTANCE/ DIRECTION

Thus, try to think out of the box towards those themes and choose one of them to be your main theme for the podcast!
