> _Futuresonic EVNT Showcase
> An opportunity for music promoters, programmers and curators to stage
> their events in venues in Manchester’s Northern Quarter - the city’s
> creative hub, home to Night & Day, Cord, Centro, The Roadhouse, Common
> and more. Futuresonic is looking for innovative and ground breaking
> events of international calibre, and will match-make promoters to
> venues.
> Deadline for proposals: 25 May 2005_
>
> _Futuresonic EVNT Competition
> A rare chance for three up-and-coming promoters to each win £1000 to
> 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.
