IRON IMAGER 2017 CALL FOR ENTRIES
LOS ANGELES, CA, MARCH 14, 2017 — Benztown, a global leader in radio imaging, voiceover services, production libraries, programming, and jingles and one of the fastest-growing privately held companies in the U.S., today announces a call for entries for its sixth annual Iron Imager Contest, the international radio imaging contest where audio production professionals compete for the title of World’s Best Imager. The first and only competition of its kind, the Iron Imager contest is open for submissions today through the Round 1 Submission Deadline of Monday, April 3, 2017 (Noon Pacific). The Iron Imager Contest is open to all radio imaging, production and programming professionals 18 and older, and will be judged by top producers and programmers from the U.S. and around the world.
What Iron Imager Challengers Can Expect
Challengers will demonstrate their imaging skills 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, 2017, between the winner of Round 1 and current Iron Imager, Sideshow Mike (“Sidey”) Andersen, of Triple M, Southern Cross Austereo in Sydney, Australia. The final throwdown will be held at the All Access Worldwide Radio Summit at the W Hollywood Hotel. The 2017 Iron Imager will be declared and presented at 10:55 a.m. on Friday, May 5, in the General Session Room.
Dave “Chachi” Denes, Benztown President, 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.”
Sideshow Mike (“Sidey”) Andersen, Iron Imager 2016 Champion, said: “Who’s gonna come and take this Iron Imager belt off me?! No seriously…come and get it! It doesn’t go with any of my outfits and I’ve been copping grief from the fashion police for 12 months! Please, can someone win this thing off me??!!!!! I mean, how hard could it be, right?!?”
