24 Nov Announcement about the start of submissions for “Make It Heard 2025”
Dear Teachers/Team Leaders,
This year, we are excited to announce several new and engaging changes to the “Make It Heard” Contest.
The radio message evolves into a podcast, an original audio piece with a longer duration. Instead of preparing a script for just a minute and a half, you will create one lasting seven to ten minutes. Discuss a topic of concern to the students in class, brainstorm ideas, and turn them into compelling audio content. A podcast is about spoken words and the intentional use of music, which should only be incorporated when it adds meaningful value to the listener’s experience. This year, you are free to explore any topic you wish, allowing you to highlight issues relevant to your students and capture the interest of their peers. Focus on high-quality content, an appropriate tone of speaking, and its effective adaptation for radio.
As for the song category, we encourage you to showcase your ideas and express your creativity, giving you more time to develop your piece. The maximum duration is now up to four minutes, providing greater freedom for your artistic expression.
For both categories, we have organized two online workshops scheduled for December. Therefore, the submission form will not open on November 25, 2024 as initially planned but will be available after the workshops. Through these sessions, we aim to inspire you to create both the song and the podcast.
In the meantime, you can begin brainstorming in class to decide on the theme you’ll focus on this year.
The largest podcast and song competition for students is here, ready to welcome children’s imaginative and inspiring creations.
