*CALLOUT FOR FUTURESONIC EVNTS!*
Futuresonic International Festival 2006
20-23 July, Manchester
Futuresonic announces the launch of its showcase and competition for
artist groups, promoters, musicians, programmers and curators.
The Futuresonic EVNT Showcase is a city-wide programme of affiliated
events, which forms one part of the Futuresonic festival. It enables
new and ground breaking events and artist groups from around the world
to appear within the festival. Futuresonic is looking for innovative
events of international calibre, and will help ?matchmake? promoters to
venues.
Deadline for proposals: 22 May 2006
The Futuresonic EVNT Competition offers cash prizes to enable the
staging of ground breaking events that would not otherwise be possible
to present. Awards of GBP 2,500 and GBP 1,000 are available, as well as
three smaller amounts of GBP 250 for runners up. Proposals will be
judged by an independent panel of music, arts and industry figures.
Deadline for proposals: 1 May 2006

The EVNT Showcase was launched in 2005, with more than thirty events
over one weekend featuring artists from as far afield as New York,
Moscow, Berlin and Dallas. This year, we aim to incorporate even more
venues and unusual spaces spreading the festival further to more
people.
Futuresonic now invites anyone working in music or media arts to take
part in the 2006 EVNT Showcase, with the EVNT Competition an added
incentive for those who would like financial support in doing so.
