New Public Radio Makers Quest!

You are receiving this message because of your membership on the Public Radio Talent Quest site. If you do not want to receive updates about new radio opportunities, click here:

We're sending this message on behalf of the Association of Independents in Radio (AIR), who've announced their Public Radio Makers Quest 2.0! MQ2 is a new initiative that builds on public radio's 2007 Talent Quest.

This time, AIR wants you to let them know about a brilliant producer, reporter, or sound artist you think has the potential to stretch public radio beyond current broadcast boundaries. They'll reward 12-15 of the nominees with $20,000-$40,000 each to experiment. Who do you know who can most surprise them by harnessing emerging digital tools and distribution channels to give new shape to the sound of public radio? And if you have an idea they need to know about, go on and find someone to nominate you.

You'll find nomination forms, guidelines, and a profile of the illustrious Talent Committee -- everything you need to take the next step with MQ2 -- here.

Time is short. Nominations are due October 31st at midnight. If you want to continue to receive news and updates from AIR on MQ2, send an email to erin@airmedia.org to be added to the distribution list.

Good luck,
The Talent Quest Team at PRX
