AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Phonurgia Nova awards 2010
deadline :15 october

The Loud-speaker is probably the greatest common denominator in all
our lives to-day. Video, multimedia, car radios, mobile phones are
all crafting a new life for sound. In all domains sound is an objet
of research, of reflexion. It is essential to open up creative,
imaginative spaces for sound. And to encourage people to listen.
Christian Leblé, chairman.

#01 Background
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. The contest is open to all
radio station formats and to all authors, independant radio
producers, musicians, composers, sound artists and production teams.
An international jury panel made up of representatives from the radio
industry, the press and the sound art world judge the entries. Last
year, 179 productions from 11 different countries were entered in the
prize.

#02 Call for Works
This year's competition will distinguish authors whose work manifests
a keen sense of sound and listening as means of expression.
The jury will deliberate on 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.

In each category the jury will deliberate on two types of work :
1)completed productions
2)projects

#03 How to apply
The competition is open to all artists without exception and for any
work produced later than 2007, regardless of language, format,
duration or genre.One application form per project or production (and
not one per author/producer)
