Unique music and media arts competition opens in Manchester

Futuresonic, the UK’s leading electronic music and media arts festival, today announces the launch of its competition for musicians, club promoters, programmers and curators.

** Futuresonic EVNT Competition offers cash prizes to enable up-and-coming new music and arts events to appear during Futuresonic’s July festival, and is open to anyone in the world. **

This is a unique opportunity: Futuresonic is the only festival to provide support in this way for independent events, promoters and programmers.

This year’s Futuresonic – which runs 20–23 July at venues across Manchester - builds on the success of last year’s Futuresonic EVNT Showcase, where venues throughout the city’s Northern Quarter opened their doors to music lovers for an entire weekend of independent electronic, dance, post-rock and club gigs. Over 30 events took place during last year’s EVNT Showcase alone, with acts from as far afield as New York, Moscow, Berlin and Dallas
