Have a mind to make melodies? Ready to be the next radio star? Prepared to produce a prodigious podcast? Collect and/or generate some compelling sounds. Next, choose and use software to enhance your audio to create something entirely new from them. Judges are looking to see (and listening to hear) what students can accomplish with digital audio editing tools and resources. This category is defined as any original audio production that has been edited/produced with digital software. Projects may include speaking, singing, music, sounds effects, and other audio components. Tools and resources used in this category include but are not limited to:
The project must be displayed on a computer in the program or with the resource in which it was created. The student should be prepared to demonstrate to judges how resources were used to create the finished project.
You may have up to 2 people on a team but teams and individuals will compete against each other within each grade grouping. Regardless of the length of the project, judging time is 15 minutes. Judges may only view a portion of the actual project.
Judges will use the Audio Production category rubric as a guideline for exemplary characteristics of projects in this category. Students should use the rubric as a guide for what judges are looking for.
