DEADLINE: MAY 25, 2020 ― The Third Coast International Audio Festival has announced the commencement of registration for its annual Third Coast / Richard H. Driehaus Foundation Competition.

The TC/RHDF Competition awards the best narrative audio stories produced across borders and languages.

The winners are celebrated across the audio industry, receive cash prizes up to $5,000, and are selected by a cohort of judges — all makers themselves — invited by Third Coast.

This year, eleven winners will be awarded in the following nine categories: Best Documentary (Gold, Silver, Bronze), Best Serialized Story, (NEW) Best Documentary: Short, Best New Artist, Best Documentary: Non-English Language, Impact, (NEW) Audio Unbound, Director’s Choice, and Best News Feature.
