The Third Coast International Audio Festival
摘要
The Third Coast International Audio Festival (TCIAF) is an American festival focused on audio production and a platform for gathering creators accompanied by annual competition. Since 2001, every autumn the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place hotel in Chicago sees approximately 800 participants from the audio producing field. They work as creators, journalists, reporters and so on; share their stories; attend workshops; discuss audio production; and celebrate audio storytelling in all forms at the TCIAF. This chapter deals with the history of TCIAF, describes its competitive nature and compares it with the IFC.
