The format thought is much of what was done at ConClave (a con in Michigan generally 2 weeks before OVFF).
Format was as follows: 1. Introduce the composer. Mostly where they're from, without a lot of other information about them.
2. Play the nominated song in full.
3. lather, rinse, repeat for the whole category.
So, there would be six podcasts; focusing on each category of the award. :)
Currently you have to submit a full recording to be able to accept Nomination. OVFF helps with their catalog of recordings from the con where necessary, as well as doing everything possible to get a recording for the online balloting process. So, gathering copies of the songs is generally not a problem.
So, differences from the standard format- Performer and Composer Nominees:
I'm considering asking Composer and nominees to submit a live recording to me of a song they're proudest of, not necessarily the one that is used as a representative work. (Within the Official Online Category right now, if you are a Performer Nominee and you have a song in Best, Classic, or one of the Floats- that's your representative piece. If you're a Composer Nominee, the same applies.)
With the podcast, I'd be able to expand the Performer and Composer categories- preferably with only live recordings.
The other reason to do this thing is that the online official representative is a *sample* of the piece- not the complete song.

These would all be audio podcasts- no video. :)
There... all answered?
