Awards
Industry awards, rankings, and "best of" lists you can enter or be nominated for. Featured finds them and links you to the entry page — there's nobody to pitch here, so there's no draft to write.
Passive — you reach out to them
Available in chat and to any connected MCP client.

Filters
You don’t type filters. Describe what you want in plain language and Featured picks the filters for you — “podcasts with at least 50 episodes that published something this month” sets two of the filters below. The literal field names are listed because they’re what an MCP client or API caller passes.
| Filter | Field | Type | Default | What it does | Ask for it like |

Handled for you: excludeAwardUrls — Featured fills this in to keep results you have already been shown out of the next set.
Notes
- Unknown costs are always included. A cost ceiling filters out awards known to be more expensive; it never hides one whose fee isn’t published. Free-to-enter means asking for a maximum cost of zero.
- Awards have no outreach step. Every result carries an entry link. Featured won’t draft a pitch, because there’s no inbox to send it to.
- Expired awards. Ask to exclude them and Featured hides anything past its deadline. Left unsaid, past deadlines aren’t filtered — useful for finding a programme’s next cycle.
Results never repeat within a conversation. Featured remembers what it has already shown you and excludes it from the next search — so “show me more” gets you new results, not the same list again. Start a new chat to reset.
