At Silver Sound, we encourage everyone to pull out their microphones and make something new! Every winter and summer, we host a 48-hour audio storytelling competition, shower the top three winners with money and fabulous prizes, and showcase the top 10 finalists both live at a celebration event in NYC and online via our Silver Podcast Network. We call this the Biannual Sonic Dash.

Registration for our Summer 2026 Sonic Dash, which will take place from June 5th to the 7th, is now open so check out the link below to learn more about the contest and the insane prizes you can win!
