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.

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.
