THE STUDENTS' PODCAST

How To Win The Student Podcast Challenge

The contest opens for entries today and closes on Feb. 28, 2022, and this year we've added something special: Our grand-prize winner will receive $5,000, and the other finalists will receive $500 each.

All it takes is a smartphone, a laptop computer, and a good idea. We want to hear the ideas, the issues, the discussions that are bubbling up on campus. Now that most schools are back in person — tell us what it's like!

Record the stories that will make us laugh or cry, and everything in between, and we'll put the winners and some of the best entries on NPR shows, like Morning Edition and All Things Considered, and on podcasts such as Code Switch.

There are some rules to keep in mind: All students, regardless of age, who are pursuing an associate's or bachelor's degree can apply. 

The maximum length of your podcast is eight minutes, and the minimum is three minutes. You will be held to your own standards at NPR, where reporters often have to condense days or weeks of reporting into five or six minutes. The shorter the better.

There's a host of training materialsguides for sound recording and audio production, guidance for what you can — and can't — do with music, lists of do's and don'ts, and we even made a podcast about making a good podcast!

The NPR College Podcast Challenge will close on Feb. 28, 2022. You can submit here.
