Have you got podcasting yet?
This time last year we did our first ever podcast when we attended the nominee launch for the SAMA’s and recorded a whole bunch of South African artists giving us their take of the nominee list – listen to it here!. It’s as easy as that – ok..ok…we know we need to do more -we intend to!! If you haven’t yet dabbled in podcasting but have lots of interesting things to say, make sure you enter the “Get Podcasting – The Showdown” competition currently running on 5FM. We’ll definitely be entering! You’ve got about 5 weeks left to enter so get going!
Working in collaboration with 5FM, Coca-Cola, and MINI, Apple IMC is spearheading the first-ever podcasting competition on the continent of Africa. In addition to the R250,000 in prizes to be won by participants and voters alike, the sponsors will also be broadcasting various top podcasts on the big screen at My Coke Fest (headlining Guns n’ Roses) and giving the eventual grand-champion a 2007 MINI to drive for 2 months. For the sponsors however, the ultimate goal of the iPodcast competition is to drive the adoption of podcasting in the local marketplace, while encouraging creativity, self-expression amongst the youth and young-adult market in South Africa. The competition will give creative individuals throughout the country, an outlet to share their talents with a national and international audience.
The competition categories are:
1. Original Music
2. Comedy/Stand-Up
3. Arts & Entertainment
4. Society & Culture
5. Sports & Recreation
