How long can the audiobook be? Can it be a series of short stories?

I'm thinking of making a new story but I do have a series of short stories that together are from the same universe I wrote well over a decade ago...


I was thinking of turning those into an audiobook or series of audiobooks so I was wondering how long the audiobook submission can be? Can it be one long audiobook (a good hour or so) that involves a bunch of short stories (completely different people in each, and different scenarios involving the same universe), or should it be a singular audiobook stand alone story?


In the series of short stories I made years back, the first story introduces the concept of that universe, then the other stories are to do with different people and scenarios in said universe, so just doing the first story wouldn't be that interesting but doing only one of the other stories wouldn't make much sense without it's context.


Thanks in advance for any response.


Edit: The current stories don't fit the themes too well, so they'd be generally edited prior as they're in need of a good revamp and rewrite anyway. I am mainly just wondering if I should do a fully new stand alone story, or if a series of short stories in one is acceptable as a submission as I might work on the current IP of shorts I have to improve them for this jam as I never really did anything with them in the past.

An audio short story collection sounds like a great idea! Honestly, feel free to do whatever suits you best. The only requirement is that it be complete, so you could submit just one completed short story and that would work, or a bunch of them.

Regarding the themes, they're entirely optional so don't use them if they aren't useful to you. Hope that helps, good luck recording!
