Shure’s Open Registration for 5th Annual Recording Competition Now Open
Fantastic Scholastic Recording Competition, Registration Now Open!
For the fifth year in a row, Shure is working with the audio education departments at universities to help find future recording stars. Over $13,000 in prizes are going to be awarded. The school with the winning team wil receive a donation of $3,000 towards a scholarship fund for that school. The students that are part of the team who wins will also receive a KSM32/SL large single-diaphragm condenser microphone of retail value $1075!
This is great for those who are attending college to get into recording. This could almost be seen as an American Idol event but at a college level. This would be like the debate team competing nationally or being in business classes taking part in DEX or DECA competitions.
This would be great for a portfolio and I’m sure those who take part in the competition will receive class credit.
