The World of Internet Radio, by Emma Norman
Here's what the judges had to say about her piece:
Brilliant piece well researched, clear engaging beautiful use of other audio/radio. Winner for me!
A
lovely, warm, professional 'World Service' tone, clever use of audio
captured online to give it pace and real, campaigning subject matter.
You could play this one out practically anywhere right now. Loved it.
An
interesting production brought to life by the incorporation of the
snippets of radio from around the world. A well planned, well thought
out and concise script with an upbeat and enthusiastic delivery that
holds the listener's interest.
Emma produces a fortnightly show at Soundart Radio on Saturday mornings. She has also been involved with her school radio station, at Coombeshead College, Newton Abbot for several years.
And in the over 18s... we have a tie.
The World's Longest Score - Juan Villalba
The judges said:
Dreamy.
Left me wanting to know more. Sound design is really lovely - different
tones/qualities/levels separates sources nicely.
Excellent
production - dynamic, thought provoking, fantastic use of music and
effects. I liked the background voices in foreign languages, it builds
really nicely to the break in the middle.
I really enjoyed this -simple idea but you really used the sounds and music to tell the story.

Three years ago, the world knew the Ángeles Duran story. A Spanish woman said she was the owner of the Sun.
I
talked to her in a radio program. She told me she had another idea: a
musical score with phone sounds. Actually, she never did. I talked to
her again and she explained her idea. She is the female voice in
Spanish in the piece, recorded on the phone in my home studio. The
female voice in French is a friend of mine, a French teacher, Lola. And
the male voice is mine.
Starting
from this idea, I thought of combining the sounds of cell phones with
conventional instruments, as the piano or violin. I am fascinated by the
sounds of new technologies. Would we Survive? - Helmi Wolff
The judges said:
Ooh.
Tantalising. Packs a lot in to 60". Gorgeous voice tells half the story
on its own, before you even get to the events. Additional sounds just
right - could easily have been overdone. Very emotional stuff.
It is great as piece of oral history and it is
given atmosphere and brought to life through the understated use of
sound effects.
Fantastic historical record. Very active piece
