* Assessment in Asia Podcast Awards 2024 follows a rigorous quality control process. Typically, the top three entries are selected as finalists, but if scores are very close, more finalists are included. Scoring is done on a scale of 1 to 100. If a finalist is named on this list, their score is likely to be between 75 and 100%.
Other entries that may not have made it to the final round would likely have scored 50-75%, which is also considered a significant achievement. Entries that did not reach at least the 50% threshold were not eligible for the final round.
One Indie and one Major winner will be selected from the qualified finalists if there are eligible entries in each category. Winners will be featured in our winners list and profile stories, and will be featured on the RadioDays Asia Conference in KL in September. We hope to see you there!
