It’s the eighth year for the Iron Imager Contest, the international radio imaging competition held by Benztown, in which audio production professionals compete for the title of World’s Best Imager. Dubbed “The Ultimate Audio Battle of Skill And Will,” submissions are being accepted through the Round 1 submission deadline of noon, Monday, February 25, 2019. Iron Imager 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.
The 2019 Iron Imager Contest will culminate in a live imaging competition at WWRS 2019 on March 27-29 at Castaway in Burbank, CA. This year’s Iron Imager will pit 2018 Iron Imager Champion, UK audio imaging professional Sam Wickens, Assistant Audio Producer for Capital FM, against this year’s contender for the title of World’s Best Imager.
Dave “Chachi” Denes, Benztown President, said: “Imaging professionals, polish your keyboards and trackballs and get ready to battle it out in Burbank! We are thrilled to welcome 2018 Iron Imager Champion, Sam Wickens, who crosses the pond to defend his title as World’s Best Imager. We invite all imagers who think they have the chops to claim the 2019 Iron Imager belt to throw their mic in the ring and bring it to Burbank for this 8th annual live throwdown of the most formidable imagers on the planet!”
Sam Wickens said: “I can’t wait to get back to Los Angeles to test myself against one of the world’s best imagers again. Last year was an incredible experience and I’m so lucky I’ve got the chance to do it once more. I’ve grown quite attached to having the belt, though, so I’ll definitely be fighting for the win!”
