Champions and challenges

Third Coast/Richard H. Driehaus Foundation Competition

Each year we seek out the best new stories produced around the world for radio and the Internet, through our Third Coast/Richard H. Driehaus Foundation Competition.

Since 2001, the TC/RHDF Competition has honored nearly 100 extraordinary stories from seven countries/four continents and has  bestowed $250,000 in cash prizes to many of the most innovative producers of the past decade.

*Congratulations to the winners of the 2011 TC/RHDF Competition!* 

Looking ahead: check back in early May for information about the 2012 Competition. Or sign up for our email list and we'll tell you all about it then.

ShortDocs Challenge

We also give radio fans, musicians and audiophiles of all sorts their own challenge to create a short radio piece based on an intriguing set of rules.

We're excited to be partnering with the neighborhood-centric EveryBlock for the 2012 ShortDocs Challenge! More information, including this year's guidelines, coming February 15th.

If you're looking for some inspiration you can browse the audio library to hear ShortDocs from previous years.

Suggestions for future ShortDocs collaborators are welcome - just drop us an email.
