The National Features and Documentary Series is a CBAA run competition to encourage storytelling from new and emerging producers around Australia.

Any supporter of an Australian community radio station can submit one 28 minute radio feature or documentary here.

Selected candidates will receive mentoring and training from the Community Media Training Organisation at no cost and be paid for bringing your feature or documentary idea to fruition. 

Last year’s winner, Carol Dowling of Noongar Radio won a Human Rights Award for her documentary Another Stolen Generation, which highlights the disproportionate placement of Aboriginal children in out-of-home care in Western Australia.

In order to participate, you’ll need:

• The support of an Australian community radio station.
• Access to recording equipment and editing software.
• To submit an idea for a feature or documentary that is no longer than 28 minutes in duration. Successful entrants will liaise with the CBAA and CMTO to determine the final duration.

Entries will close 13th March 2015.
