6th Short Audio Drama Competition
+++ the deadline for submissions has been extended to 15 February !!! +++
Since 2020, Hörspielsommer e. V. has been organising a Short Audio Play Competition to accompany the festival. The competition is aimed at all friends of quick listening pleasures: you can submit your plays via our entry form until 1 February 2025.
There is no age limit for participants. Audio pieces (including radio plays, sound collages or features) with a length of up to 3 minutes can be submitted. There is no specific theme or motto.
As part of Germany’s largest audio drama festival, the 23rd Leipziger Hörspielsommer, a selection of the best entries will be presented to the public in July 2025. The audience will choose three winners during the festival.
On the weekend of the competition, a network gathering will be organised for all participants to get to know each other and exchange ideas. The Hörspielsommer e. V. would like to offer unknown, semi-professional and professional audio play authors, directors and producers a platform to present their work and thus promote the diversity and vitality of the radio play landscape.
You can find further information on submission in our terms and conditions.
The deadline for the 6th Short Audio Play Competition is 1 February 2025. We thank you for all submissions!
