Do you have an idea for a podcast? We’d love to hear it! ARKAST, the annual podcast festival in Arkansas, is announcing a podcast pitch competition. ARKAST is now in its second year and has grown from a one-day event to a week-long festival.
To kick off the week, a podcast pitch competition will be held on Sept. 1 at Ron Robinson Theater in Little Rock from 6-9 p.m. This Shark Tank style competition gives Arkansans an opportunity to have help creating their podcast. The winning pitch will receive a podcast launch package, podcasting equipment, and help with getting the podcast on all major platforms.
Contestants will take the stage to present their ideas to a panel of judges made up of industry professionals. The judges will provide valuable feedback on all pitches. Entering the contest is free but those wanting to enter must fill out a pitch form and be approved.
Tickets to be in the audience are free and can be reserved on Eventbrite.
The ARKAST podcast festival will take place in central Arkansas Sept. 1-7.
ARKAST is organized by the Arkansas Podcast Collaborative, a nonprofit dedicated to growing and diversifying Arkansas’s podcasting community.
