stage an event as part of the EVNT Showcase. Open to any promoter,
programmer or curator anywhere in the world, with the focus on ground
breaking and new events as well as one-off or adventurous events by
established promoters. Proposals will be judged by a panel of leading
industry, club and music figures.
Deadline for proposals: 25 May 2005_
Events are a vital part of the music industry and of music culture, but
its rare to get an events showcase at a festival – usually, the focus
is on music labels. Most new music events need time, money and passion
to get off the ground but it’s becoming increasingly hard for new
nights to break through and become established. The Futuresonic EVNT
Showcase and Competition are a way of changing that – and making sure
up-and-coming promoters and musicians get the break they deserve.
Time is tight - in order to guarantee inclusion in festival publicity,
the deadline for proposals for the EVNT Showcase and entries for the
EVNT Competition is 25 May. Results will be announced the following
week.
