++++ For Information ++++

Third Coast Festival Short Docs Challenge is open.

Here's your chance to take part in an international audio mega-project, 
whether you've been making radio for decades, or have always longed to 
utter "Testing 1, 2" into a microphone. The ShortDocs Challenge is for 
everyone!

THE 2015 SHORTDOCS CHALLENGE: STUDS RULES

As always, ShortDocs comes with a set of rules inspired by a creative 
partner. For 2015 that's the Studs Terkel Radio Archive from the WFMT 
Radio Network.

Terkel's work spanned an impressive variety of topics and figures - but 
his recordings have been largely inaccesible to the public. Until now! 
The good folks at WMFT are creating the first-ever comprehensive online 
collection of Terkel's radio work... and are giving us a sneak peek.

We hope you'll be inspired by Terkel's interview style, spirit, and wild 
curiousity - and run with that inspiration in any direction you see fit. 
Sound art, documentary, oral history, radio drama, hybrids, all are 
welcome - just as long as your piece follows the rules.

  STUDS RULES...RULES

Your radio story must:

- be two to three minutes in length
- be titled with a question that begins with one of the five Ws (who, 
what, when, where or why)
- contain the question "And what happened then?"
- include a shout of silence or a cry of laughter

The deadline for submitting your ShortDoc is 11:59pm CT on Tue, April 14th.
