FUTUREVISUAL
http://www.futuresonic.com/07/2007_submissions.html

Futuresonic invites submissions of projects at the cutting edge of immersive sound and image.

Futurevisual forms the centrepiece of Futuresonic Live at Futuresonic 2007 in Manchester/UK. Futurevisual will also be presented at a new festival launched during 2007 by Art Centre Nabi in Seoul/South Korea, and a selection of works presented at Futuresonic will be shown at arte. mov in Belo Horizonte/Brazil.

Futurevisual is a celebration of all things audiovisual, with a focus on audiovisual projects which emerge from, reference or are inspired by the transfusion of visual media and visual technologies within music culture, and the mixing of visual culture and music culture.

This will be a homage to the 40th anniversary of seminal multimedia events in 1967 which, like Futuresonic, came not from film but a collision of music and art worlds. At events such as The 12 Hour Technicolour Dream and Games For May, and the UFO club, London's psychedelic underground exploded into the daylight. These were at the beginning of a seminal year which saw a coming together of the worlds of music and visual art, a crossover between avant garde and popular music, and also the introduction of the Moog at Monterey.

Please note that in 2007 we are only asking for submissions of projects that can be presented without financial support from Futuresonic.

Deadline for submissions:
Thursday 15th February 2007

EVNTS 2007
http://www.futuresonic.com/07/evnts.html

Futuresonic invites anyone working in music or media arts to take part in EVNTS 2007, a city-wide programme of affiliated events, with the EVNT Competition offering financial support for a limited number of events.

EVNTS is a strand of the Futuresonic festival which enables artist groups and event organisers to participate in the festival. All participating events are included in the festival publicity, on the festival website, and in festival press releases. Since its introduction in 2005, EVNTS has grown into a community of people who each year return to give the festival an extra edge.

Awards of GBP 1,000 and GBP 250 are available for people to stage an event as a part of EVNTS via the EVNT Competition. Open to any programmer, curator, promoter, label or artist group 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 an independent panel of music, arts and industry figures.

Deadline for submissions:
Thursday 15th February 2007
