When will you announce the Circuit Selects and Honorable Listens?
We’ll be in touch with our Selects and Listens entrants no later than the first week of June.

How strict is this 3-minute prompt?
We can be a little bit (dare we) fluxible – we’ll accept submissions that fall between 2:50 and 3:10 – but encourage you to embrace the challenge of landing right at 3:00.

What do you mean by “exhibits a moment of audible ALL CAPS”?
There should be a moment in your fluxwork that is audibly emphasized, that stands out from the rest of your story. All caps are often described as “shouty” and while you don’t have to include any shouts, we will be listening to identify this moment when we hear it.

Can I work with a partner or team on my fluxwork?
Absolutely, you’re welcome (encouraged even!) to partner up. However, should your fluxwork be chosen as a Circuit Select or Honorable Listen, you will only receive 1x the honorarium of $750 or $300.

Can I submit a non-English fluxwork?
Yes! We’re happy to accept fluxworks in other languages. If you do, we’ll ask that you also send us an English transcript either via link or document.

Can I submit a fluxwork from outside the US?
Yes! We would love to hear fluxworks from all over the world.

Do I have to commit to being present for the live debut?
No, if your fluxwork is chosen as a Circuit Select or Honoable Listen, you will not be obligated to attend the debut event in June, in NYC. But it will be fun, and we hope you will!

Can I adapt a previously-produced story for Audio Flux?
Not if this previously-produced story has been published anywhere. Your fluxwork should by and large be an original piece, crafted in response to the Circuit prompts.

Will Audio Flux offer any editorial support?
Given the expected volume of submissions, we’re not able to offer editorial support. But we will offer feedback to everyone who submits a fluxwork, if desired!

How are you deciding on your Circuit Selects and Honorable Listens?The Audio Flux team will listen to every submission and decide on a list of finalists, which will then be shared with a small panel of guest judges. Selects and Honorable Listens designations will be based on: originality, story choice, use of prompts, use of sound, overall impression.

Can I post my fluxwork on my website or another podcast?
If your submission is chosen as a Circuit Select or Honorable Listen, it will be featured on this website, and you will be welcome/encouraged to share the work far and wide. We will ask that you wait until 6 months after your fluxwork is presented in the Audio Flux podcast before sharing it in another podcast feed or on the radio. We will also ask that you credit Audio Flux wherever your work shows up publicly, à la "This piece was produced for Audio Flux."

Do I have to pay or sign anything to submit a fluxwork?
No, it’s absolutely free to submit your work! But we will ask you to sign an agreement that gives Audio Flux the right, if we pick your submission as a Circuit Select or Honorable Listen, to feature it on our website, at AF events, and in our podcast. Please note that we have done our best to tailor our agreement to be creator-friendly.

Will I own my fluxwork after submitting it?
Yes, you will own your fluxwork after submission, whether chosen as a Circuit Select or Honorable Listen, or not. Terms outlining permission and usage can be found in our Circuit 03 Rules, Terms and Conditions doc.

Can I develop a full show from my fluxwork?
We hope that your fluxwork inspires you toward more production, for sure! If it’s chosen as a Circuit Select or Honorable Listen,  we’ll ask you to agree to some parameters around timing and crediting, and will cheer you on from the sidelines.
