Gherig, The Babe, DiMaggio, Yogi, Reggie Jackson, Joe Torre, Jeee-Dahh… and now YOU. 

We’ll provide the scripts for you – you provide the radio magic.  The winning submissions will make us hear and feel the crack of the bat and the roar of the crowd…while also telling everybody that Tongal’s the new way to get creative work, or get creative work done.

So, no small order.  A little radio theater…

This Project will be worth a total of $5,000 and consists of two Phases: a Pitch Phase and a Radio Spot Phase. Be sure to read the following information carefully as well as the Official Rules.

PHASE 1: PITCH – Create a pitch for how YOU would go about producing a 30-second radio spot based on one of the winning Ideas. Your pitch must include the following –

• TEXT: 500 characters (or less) of text summarizing your intended approach to this execution

• VOICE TALENT: you must upload a clip of the voice actor(s) you intend to cast in the spot.

• LINKS: To you previous work.

• IMAGE (Optional): Additional anything that helps get your point across.

• PITCH VIDEO (Optional): This is your opportunity to show us what you're capable of. Consider submitting a Pitch video in which you tell the Sponsor what they can expect should they choose your Pitch.   

The most compelling Pitch will be selected and, upon submitting the Winner’s Affidavit and the IP Assignment, will receive $1,500 to help create the Radio Spot.  Additionally, upon submitting a Radio Spot that satisfies the criteria laid out in your winning Pitch, the Pitch winner will also be GUARANTEED a winning place in the subsequent Radio Spot Phase.  So, if your Pitch is selected and you execute your Pitch effectively in your Radio Spot submission, you will win an additional $3,500. For an example of an effective Pitch, check out Erik Beck’s winning “3 Artists & 5,000 LEGOs” Pitch video. All Pitches will remain private until after the winner of the Radio Spot Phase is announced and the Project is complete.    

PHASE 2: RADIO PHASE – The winner from the Pitch Phase will create a 30-second Radio Spot based upon their winning Pitch.

--Radio Spot Phase Payout: Winners of the Radio Phase Phase will earn the following prizes: 1st place $3,500.
