Broadcast Symposium and Dream Job Competition
Want a shot at a paid broadcasting position? Register today and submit your demo for the Dream Job Competition! Passionate about broadcasting but not ready for the spotlight? Register for the symposium to learn from the pros, network, and prepare for the next competition! This educational sports broadcast symposium is centered on career assistance for those interested in sports broadcasting and media relations with multiple networking opportunities with professionals in the industry. The Dream Job Competition is not mandatory but the winner will receive a PAID 2023 sports broadcasting position with Studer Entertainment, owners of the Beloit Sky Carp (High-A Miami Marlins) and Pensacola Blue Wahoos (Double A Miami Marlins)! Other finalists will receive cash prizes. Registration for the event is $265 and is open through December 22, 2022. Use early-bird discount code "Wisconsin" through October 31 for a rate of $215. Registration for the event will be limited to the first 200 individuals, so early registration is strongly encouraged. To be eligible for the Dream Job Competition attendees must be registered and submit all required information no later than October 31 at 5:00 p.m. Programming will kick off on Friday, January 6 with a welcome reception. Education will get under way with a full day of breakout sessions, keynote speeches, and networking opportunities on Saturday, January 7. The final day of the event on Sunday, January 8 will focus on the live job competition. If competing, registrants must submit content in advance of the competition to be judged and the top submissions will be selected for a live competition that will take place during this final day of the symposium. Presenters, speakers, and judges will be comprised of several professional broadcasters with ties to organizations such as ESPN, FOX Sports, and the Big Ten Network. In 2022, the current voice of the Beloit Sky Carp, Larry Larson, won the Dream Job Competition by besting six other contestants during the live portion of the competition. In addition to Larson, fellow finalists Brennan Mense (Billings Mustangs), Mitchell Speltz (Augusta Green Jackets), and Ryan Zimmerman (Gary SouthShore RailCats) also secured broadcast positions in professional baseball. Don't miss out on this great opportunity!
