What is the International Award?
The International Award is a new category at the Podfluencer Awards 2026 – because podcasting knows no borders. Most podcast awards are limited to the German-speaking world. Since the Podfluencer started in 2022, we’ve steadily expanded our reach – and now we’re opening the stage to independent podcasters worldwide, from True Crime and Business to Education and more. The only requirement: your podcast is produced in English. If you podcast independently and broadcast in English, you can apply.
💡 Note: Open to all independent podcasters worldwide – no publishers, no media houses, no agencies or media groups.
