Met Radio’s 24 Hour Radio Challenge ’26

30 January 2026 / by Met Radio

It’s the time of year again for Met Radio’s 24 Hour Radio Challenge!

 

From February 28th at 10:00 AM, join us for 24 straight hours of radio making fun. Whether you’re an audio veteran wanting to flex your skills, you’re looking for your chance to try radio out for the first time, or anywhere in between, this is for you!

 

This year’s challenge runs from February 28th to March 1st!

 

At 10:00 AM on Saturday, February 28th, we’ll release this year’s secret theme. From there, you have until 10:00 AM on March 1st to write, record, and edit an original radio production!

 

Want to make a short piece of nonfiction? An investigation of an idea in audio? An all-new radio drama? Go for it! As long as it incorporates the theme and is between 3 and 6 minutes, your radio piece can be whatever you want!

 

You can join solo or in a group of up to four people, and it’s open to anyone in Canada! To sign up, head to this form (https://airtable.com/appv8D1XwAxYfPQwE/shrxHP1XUZugmoOiI)

 

This year, Long & McQuade is providing a $150 dollar prize package to the winning team!
