Grab your notebooks, your headphones, your best buds and biggest ideas, because Met Radio’s 24 hour challenge returns this March!
For the fourth time, we’re challenging you to make the tightest, smartest, most surprising and inventive piece of short audio that you can in just one day.
This year’s challenge runs from March 1st to 2nd. Here’s how it’ll go down:
Step 1: Sign up for the challenge before February 28th at 5pm EST. You can participate solo, or with a team of up to four people. Total beginners and experienced producers alike are invited to register! The challenge is based out of Toronto, but you can compete from anywhere in Canada.
Step 2: Check your email at 10am EST on March 1st to learn the secret theme – this will be the inspiration behind your radio piece!
Step 3: Get to work! You’ll have until 10am EST the next morning to write, report, record, edit, and submit a 3 – 6 minute piece of radio based on the theme.
Step 4: Take a nap while our esteemed judge’s panel listens and scores your work, determining who will walk away with prizes.
