We welcome proposals for songs and artists:
1 - The work of music could be a song, tune, rap, chant, composition… - whatever can be performed live on stage by yourself (and possibly some more people).
Time limit is approx. 4 minutes.
2 - Even if this event is named PanArcticVision, we are NOT looking for your typical «Eurovision-song»: The PanArcticVision is about the local cultures of the Arctic; how they are similar and how they are different. We welcome local languages (this means not English for those who not are not native English-speakers), local musical cultures and local fusions of styles. We want lyrics concerning local and northern issues, and feel free to include political topics! We are looking for professional contributions, but there are no limitations on style, age, orientation or worldview - and the avantgarde is of course welcome. Please surprise us!!
3 - Because participants must travel over long distances, and this is costly in the Arctic, we have to limit the call to solos and duos (but if you are more people and still want to participate; lets talk! - maybe we can find local musicians in Nuuk for you to work with, or maybe we can look for additional funding for travel together?).
4 - Proposals should include:
- Links to recordings of earlier the musical work/song
- Description of an idea for your PAV-contribution (only if you have an idea at this point)
- A few words about yourself (your connection to the Arctic, your cultural and professional backgrpund)
- Artist photos
5 - Incoming proposals will be assessed by a panel combining local competence and the producers of PanArcticVision (the panel might chose an artist directly, work in dialogue with one or more applicants, or invite artists to apply).
Deadline: May 15th 2024
