SPOR festival is looking for someone to curate SPOR 2010.

If you want to take part in the competition to work as curator please
send your program suggestions to us before the 1st August 2008. The
proposal should include a program that is detailed enough for the main
curational ideas to be clear. It could also include ideas concerning
performing artists and/or ensembles. SPOR would like to see local as
well as international artists and participants included to the extent
that is (practically) possible. The proposal must also deal with the
financing of the festival and must contain an estimated budget, which
must not exceed 900.000 dkkr. (about 120.900 €). The amount should
cover the entire festival budget, including the administration fee and
marketing costs, which amount to 250.000 dkkr. (about 33.500 €) Once
the proposal has been approved the curator will be required to enter
into a working partnership with the SPOR festival's administration.
SPOR will undertake the realization of the festival but changes to the
program, which might be required for one reason or another, will take
place in collaboration with the curator. In the case of especially
demanding festival proposals the curator or curators will possibly be
required to assist in the realization of the festival. One should be
prepared for the fact that program changes can take place on the
grounds of practical and/or economical circumstances. It will be up to
the selected curator, in consultation with the festival direction,
whether or not the festival should have a single physical locality or
take place at various locations within Aarhus. Other creative
questions, for example concerning venues and performing artists, will
be open to discussion during the course of the collaboration. The
festival takes place during the month of May, usually over a period of
4 days (from Thursday to Sunday). The winning proposal will be
awarded DKr. 10.000. (About 1.350 €)

About SPOR - profile: SPOR would like to thematize, actualize and
promote the arts. SPOR is a festival that creates a platform for
stronger connections to the international sound-art and music scenes
and therefore fruitful exchange that can inspire artists and further
develop Danish contemporary music. SPOR's mission is to present
national and international sound-art and contemporary music of high
quality to a Danish and international public. The festival should at
the same time engage and stimulate debate by dealing with themes and
issues that are crucial to our time. The festival will be anchored in
contemporary music and sound art, but can also include music from other
historical periods or other forms of artistic expression should they be
relevant to the chosen theme or issue. SPOR places importance on the
fact that educational-programs are developed in connection with each
festival with the curator's proposal as a point of departure.

SPOR 2010 will take place in the beginning of May.
