Applications now open for the Jesse Cox Audio Fellowship for innovative audio storytelling in memory of renowned radio producer Jesse Cox

Jesse Cox (pictured) was a Walkley Award-winning radio producer with a passion for storytelling, whose work spanned community (FBi), public (ABC) and commercial (Audible) platforms.

Sadly, Jesse’s life was cut short in 2017 at the age 31. Some of Jesse’s closest family and friends have created the Jesse Cox Audio Fellowship – an annual $20,000 fellowship for an Australian resident to create an innovative audio work, with support from Audible, ABC, Sonar Sound, Audiocraft, Third Coast International Audio Festival and Hearsay International Audio Arts Festivals.

We are looking for proposals for audio stories that are creative, innovative, ambitious, brave and elevates diverse voices.

Applications are now open and close 30 July.
