We’re writing you to announce the winners of the 2020 Third Coast/Richard H. Driehaus Foundation Competition. These eleven extraordinary stories reflect the finest work in the narrative audio industry & push the boundaries of audio storytelling forward. New this year: want to experience these winners & get to know each and every producer behind these winning stories today? We’ve created a virtual ~audio~ gallery within the world of Third Place (our digital destination for programming), which will launch tonight at 7 PM CST. Makers can buy a full-access registration here, and appreciators can purchase individual tickets to our first-ever Fest of the Best, a marathon-day of conversation and deconstructed Awards Ceremony celebrating the best that audio has to offer. Stay tuned for Fest of the Best (November 1st) to find out who won what award!
