In the wake of the busy holidays, we've had a lot of late registrants that just heard of the contest and requested more time. We want to hear you. And we are merciful.
SO, here's what's happening: we are opening a second round of submissions, with the absolute final deadline on the following weekend on Sunday Jan. 17th by 1pm PST / 4pm EST.
We also aim to notify official selections within 72 hours of submitting, so you can decide to attend the awards show. The rest of the finalists will be selected from the second round of submissions.
In other news, here's a list of our confirmed judges (so far) that will be listening to your pieces:
Portland Mayor Charlie Hales
Rukaiyah Adams of Meyer Trust
Portia Sabin of Kill Rockstars
Dan Kennedy of the Moth
Andrew Leland of the Organist
Seth Romatelli of Uh Yeah Dude
Zoe Carpenter of the Nation
Richard Meeker of the Willamette Week
Woohoo! Get excited and get those pieces in! Please consult the Radio Is Yours rules for details on how to submit, as well as a full prize list!
Cheers, and happy storytelling!
