The Radio Ephemera (RE) audio challenge is a happy collaboration between the Third Coast Festival and the singular Prelinger Library, based in San Francisco, CA. RE submissions will be accepted until August 3rd, 2008 at midnight. Four stories will be chosen as the 2008 TCF ShortDocs, and those producers will be invited to Chicago to present their work at the 2008 TCF Conference, in October.
