Mark Time Awards and Radio Show
CONvergence will be presenting the 12th Annual Mark Time Awards and Ogle Awards for science fiction and fantasy audio productions. We've received entries from around the world, and Canada too. Writing good audio scripts is just as difficult as writing a short story or novel. And producing an audio drama is just as much work as making a video or film. We listen to them all and let you know what is the best available. They deserve their minute of fame during Opening Ceremonies for creating original science fiction and fantasy, and in doing so making a vintage medium fresh and readily available to all of us who love the genre. Find more at http://www.greatnorthernaudio.com/MarkTime/MarkTime.html.
Before the Opening Ceremonies, the Mark Time Radio Show, will feature new audio comedy from the Great Northern Audio Theatre, including: "Dwarf By Design", a sort-of Home and Garden TV show gone galactic; and "Magic Notes" in which a proud wizard reluctantly takes on a job of home schooling two children in the ways of high magic. Featuring Convergence's own Tim Wick and Windy Bowlsby.
