08 Jan Extension of the Submission Deadline and Contest Timeline
Dear Teachers,
With our warmest wishes for a year filled with health and joy, we would like to inform you that the submission deadline for podcasts and songs for the competition “Make it Heard 2026” has been extended until Friday, February 6, 2026, at 23:59.
The revised timeline is as follows:
Submission of entries by schools: until 6/2/2026
Review by the Technical Team and the Organizing Committee: 7/2/2026 – 13/2/2026
Evaluation of entries by schools and judging panels & Invitation of Finalists to the 10th ESR Student Radio Festival: 16/2/2026 – 6/3/2026
Announcement of Finalists: 16/3/2026 – 20/3/2026
Voting for Audience Award: 23/03/2026 – 20/04/2026
Award Ceremonies: 22/04/2026 (songs) & 25/04/2026 (podcasts)
Please note that during the preparation of the podcasts and songs in the classroom and the creation of your audio material, your school or any other identifying information about the creators must not be recognizable. We also draw your attention to the submission process: in the participation description field and in the field for the podcast spoken content/song lyrics, you must not include the full names of creators/contributors or the name of the school. These fields are accessible to members of the judging panels and competing schools who are asked to evaluate audio entries without knowing the creators.
Good luck!
The Organizing Committee
