Portable Stories is run by a group of audio industry experts who ‘celebrate storytelling and highlight social issues that deserve greater visibility’. This audio market runs three competitions a year as a way to support its favourite charities and get great stories professionally recorded and available. The editorial team posts a theme, the winning author receives a cash prize as well as the professional audio recording of the winning story, and a PR profile on the website. Read the details at the website. The top prize is a professional production of the winning story, valued at $5,500, and $250 or 75% of the proceeds generated from submission fees, whichever is greater.
