Oink Ink Contest Gives New Life To “Dead” Scripts

0

Oink Ink has announced its call for entries to the 2019 Dead Radio Contest. The Dead Radio Contest is a competition for advertising copywriters who have written radio scripts that for — whatever reason — were never selected by the client. A panel of industry leaders will judge the entries and choose the best “dead” spot, along with two runners-up. The Grand Prize Winner receives a trip to Oink’s studios in New York City where the once-killed script is brought back to life fully cast, directed, and produced.

“Since the contest began, about eight winning spots went on to eventually win at various award shows,” said Oink president, Dan Price. Among them Radio Mercuries, Cannes Lions, and several others. Since 1998, spots written for IKEA, Southwest Airlines, Durex, Miller Lite, Verizon, and even M.A.D.D. have earned recognition as the best of the Dead.

Scripts submitted for competition must not have been previously produced by a client or its agency, and should be no longer than 60 seconds in length.
