From the Programming Department at Convergence comes this invitation to Audio Producers.

2013 will be the year for the 75th Anniversary of the Most Famous radio broadcast of all time - Orson Welles’ War of the Worlds. (October 30, 1938) To commemorate that event, a contest has been created for original audio drama productions related to this work. Here are the basics:

• Original audio dramas ("original" means that you, the submitter own the rights).
• The works don't have to be new, but they shouldn't already have won any other award.
• Maximum length is 15 minutes.
• The production must include all of the following elements:

• Arrival inside a meteorite.
• Tripods are used for locomotion.
• Massive destruction.
• Natural biological solution.

The location, time (past, present, future), protagonists (maybe it's Earth invading Mars for a change) and all other elements are up for grabs.

Submissions are due by May 1, 2013.

There are even real prizes provided by iZotope (izotope.com). Thank you! Prizes are:

• First prize, a copy of RX 2 Standard ($349 MSRP)
• Second prize, a copy of Iris+2 ($299 MSRP)
• Third prize, a copy of Ozone 5 Standard ($249 MSRP)

Submissions are welcome from any audio producers around the world.
Contact Craig Finseth, (warworlds75@gmail.com) with any questions.
