how does someone get nominated for the Marconi award?

Hannity claims he's been nominated, Rush has gotten it

Who wants an award that a wing-nut whacko like Rush could win?

"Washington, DC - Finalists for the National Association of Broadcasters Marconi Radio Awards competition have been selected.

Established in 1989 and named after inventor and Nobel Prize winner, Guglielmo Marconi, the Marconi Awards are given to radio stations and outstanding on-air personalities to recognize excellence in radio.
An independent task force selected finalists in 19 categories. Ballots will be sent to members of the NAB Marconi Radio Awards Selection Academy in August. The ballots are sent to KPMG."

and inventor of the radio. He is buried in the same church as Galileo and Michaelangelo (Church of Santa Croce) in Florence (a must see if you ever get the chance). To have either Hanity or Limbaugh in any way associated with his good name is a desecration to his memory. I am sure he was not thinking of hate radio when he was working on electromagnetic wave propagation.
