The Great Northeast Radio Rally
A conference for audio producers of every age and stripe brought to you by Blunt Youth Radio Project
Audio Slam Throwdown – fun, fame, and modest fortune!!
Entries deadline: Monday, January 10, 2011 at 5:00 p.m.
Our Audio Slam competition is kind of like a poetry slam, but with a few twists. Producers will enter a piece, and we will play the entries and judge them in one-minute rounds, for a total of 4 rounds. So, no matter how long your piece is, we'll only be judging 4 minutes of it. You can enter a 4-minute piece, or pick which individual 4 minutes you want us to play of a longer piece. Or, if you have a longer piece, you could consider doing a shorter version for the Audio Slam.
The judges will score the pieces right then and there and determine which ones advance to the next round. So, in round one, we hear minute one, and in round two, we hear your chosen minute two. This means that each minute has to be compelling enough that we'll want to hear more.
Entries may be any style or genre, and it's perfectly fine if they have previously aired elsewhere. There will only be one winner, and the prize is $500! In addition, all entries will air on Blunt, the weekly show of Blunt Youth Radio on WMPG, Greater Portland Community Radio. You don't have to be present to win, but it sure helps! Only the first 30 entries will be accepted.
Not sure if you should enter? Enter, enter, enter. This will be great fun—we're not snobs, and your work is really wanted!
To enter, please send us a CD, email us an audio file, or give Blunt Youth Radio access to your piece on PRX. We need to know the title of your piece, plus your name and contact information. If your piece is longer than 4 minutes, you need to specify which minutes you want us to play.
