Can an employee of American Public Media enter the Talent Quest competition?

I don't work for PRX, but I do get paid by APM am I still allowed to enter the competition?

It would be nice to know before I create my mind-blowing 2 minute submission.

Thanks.

Just to double, triple confirm: it is ok for employees of NPR affiliates to participate in the quest

ABSOLUTELY - Employees at stations and any of the networks are welcome and encouraged to enter the Quest.

The only qualifier is you can't have hosted a nationally distributed program before.

Enter away, tell your colleagues, and good luck.

Only employees, partners, etc of PRX aren't allowed to participate as contestants (unfortunately, because we've got some talented folks in our midst) and also people who have already hosted national radio shows.

APM, PRI, NPR, and local station employees are welcome as far as we're concerned. Your employer might have an opinion too...

But I think the rules might have the answer.

My main concern is this bit where you warn us of your ability to creat a mind-blowing entry... I think there is a rule against blowing minds.
