About Imagina Más Creator Program

• About the Campaign

  Audible and NVISION Latino Film & Music Festival present the Imagina Más Creator Program, which invites creators from film, audio, and digital mediums to submit original works that embody Audible’s brand essence: There’s more to imagine when you listen.

  The Imagina Más Creator Program aims to co-create powerful, culturally rooted content that celebrates how audio inspires creativity in everyday Latino life. The three winners will receive $5,000, have their work showcased during the festival, and be featured in Audible’s Hispanic Heritage Month campaign.

• The Concept

  For Latinos, sound has never been just background noise—it’s a living force that carries our culture, our memories, and our imagination. It’s the salsa playing during Saturday morning cleaning, the reggaetón bumping from the neighbor’s speaker, mamá yelling “¡apúrate!” from the kitchen, the birds chirping at sunrise in abuela’s patio, or the telenovela dialogue that stays with us long after the episode ends.

  Sound doesn’t just fill our spaces, it shapes how we see the world.

  That’s why Audible and NVISION are launching a nationwide open call for creators across film, audio, and digital mediums to submit original works that bring this experience to life. We’re asking creators to begin with a real, everyday moment from Latino life, like sitting on a crowded train, listening to a story about Puerto Rico, and suddenly being transported to the turquoise beaches of Vieques or the misty rainforest of El Yunque. Or sitting in a car wash with your headphones on, hearing a spooky tale that turns the spinning brushes and flashing lights into a full-on haunted house, just like the classic scary stories you’d hear growing up.

  Maybe you’re in line at the bodega and find yourself swept away to the streets of Mexico City through a mariachi love story, or lying in your room, hearing a magical realism piece that takes you deep into the coffee farms of Colombia. Maybe you’re walking through your neighborhood and, with just one story, you end up dancing in the middle of Carnival in Brazil.

  Your story. Your voice. Your imagination.

  Through this campaign, our goal is to co-create powerful, culturally rooted content that celebrates how audio inspires creativity in our community’s day-to-day life. Each submission should reflect Audible’s core belief: There’s more to imagine when you listen, seen through a uniquely Latino lens and storytelling style.
