Iron Imagers…. Assemble!
Benztown has sounded the bugle and put the call for entries for its 6th Annual Iron Imager contest, where awesome audio production pros compete for the prestigious title of “World’s Best Imager.” The first and only competition of its kind, the Iron Imager contest is open to all radio imaging, production and programming pros 18 years of age and older, and will be judged by top producers and programmers from the U.S. and around the world.
Challengers will demonstrate their mad imaging skillz using audio ingredients from Benztown’s production libraries, paired with contestants’ original scripts. Benztown has also committed additional resources to enhance challengers’ submissions, offering for free the voice talents of many of Benztown’s newest world-class voice talent, including Corri English, Margit Furseth, Joanna Stadwiser, Chad Brannon, Drew Patterson and Jonathan Hanst.
The contest culminates in a live final round on Thursday, May 4 between the winner of Round 1 and your reigning Iron Imager, Sideshow Mike (“Sidey”) Andersen of Triple M Imaging, Southern Cross Austereo in Sydney, Australia. The final throwdown will be held during the Worldwide Radio Summit at the W Hollywood Hotel. Your 2017 Iron Imager will be revealed on Friday, May 5, in the General Session Room. Benztown President Dave “Chachi” Denes said, “Between Brexit, Donald Trump winning the election and Sidey upsetting Dan Kelly last year, I’m not sure the world is ready for Iron Imager 6. However, after long deliberation and assurances to the United Nations that PricewaterhouseCoopers will not be tallying the votes, we’ve made the decision to proceed. Godspeed.” For full contest rules and to enter, visit www.benztown.com/ironimager. Final pieces must be submitted by noon PT on Monday, April 3.
