FOBISIA Radio Drama Challenge hosted by Wellington College Hangzhou Drama Department and Dukebox Radio Station
This year, we had the privilege of hosting a Radio Drama Challenge for the FOBISIA Drama online competitions. The aim of the challenge was for pupils to showcase their creative talents in script writing and voice acting through audio storytelling.
They had the choice between 8 genres, ranging from Comedy and Radio Advertisements to Spy Thriller, Sci-Fi and Fantasy.
We had an incredible turnout of 300 upper primary, junior and senior pupils from 19 schools across Asia taking part. Our 10 judges were extremely impressed with the amount of talent and creativity showcased in the entries.
Pupils were judged based on their scriptwriting skills, use of language, plot and originality, as well as their character creation and ability to entertain the audience.
For voice acting, pupils were judged on their expressiveness and characterisation.
Additional points were awarded for their editing abilities, by using music and sound effects to create atmosphere suited to their chosen genres.
We would like to thank our judges, the teachers and of course participating pupils who all made this challenge a resounding success and assisted in creating an enjoyable experience for all involved.
We look forward to continuing this again in future years. Watch this space!
