AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Among the prizes awarded for radio and acoustic art, the Phonurgia
Nova competition has, since 1986, occupied a special place by virtue
of its recognition of artists whose work exploits sound as a medium
for expressing the real and the imaginary. Last year, 179
productions from 11 different countries were entered in the prize.
The winners were Joaquin Cofreces (Terre de feu) Alessandro Bosetti
(Germany), Marc Chalosse (France), Stephane Borel (France), Caroline
Bastin (Belgium), Elise Andrieu (France), Sebastien Peter (Germany).
This year's competition will distinguish authors whose work manifests
a keen sense of sound and listening as means of expression. In two
areas :

++ Radio Arts will privilige all forms of inventive radio
(documentary, feature, fiction, essays, Hörspiel, experimental forms
etc.)

++ New Media awards will go to "sound installations" or works which
have been specially created for "inter media environment" to bring
new experiences in sound to listeners

The Jury is chaired by the French sound director Daniel Deshays. The
jury will deliberate the 11th and 12th of December in the Reattu
Museum - Arles (France). The deadline for submission is the 15th of
October, 2010. The jury will award: one Radio Arts prize and one New
Media prize of 2 000 euros and two artist's residencies at GRM/INA
and GMVL, (two famous sound art centers located in Paris and Lyon).
The main selective criterion remains the expression of an original
artistic vision. A special prize "Pierre Schaeffer" will go yo a
young author of less than 30 years old
