We are accepting 16 music artists of any genre and group size (solo artists, duos, bands and instrumentalists, etc.) with a goal to have 50% representation by Indigenous artists. Music artists will film two performance-style music videos of original songs. The audio tracks can either be recorded live-off-the-floor or you can provide pre-recorded tracks and lip-sync (like a standard music video). Artists will also be interviewed so you have interview footage to work with, as well as experience the interview process. Both the performance music videos and interviews will be recorded at the Creative City Centre. Please read the general and music guidelines before applying. Note that you must submit one application form per musical act.
Application deadline: June 25, 2021
WHEN?
Applications will be accepted now with a deadline of June 25, 2021. Artists will be notified if they were accepted into the program by the end of July 2021. The digital content creation will occur in August and September. The online training program will commence in October or November and run until January/February 2022 (allowing a break for winter holidays.) Because this is a pilot project, the timeline is subject to change. It will depend on how quickly we can get people scheduled for the video shoots, editing and other factors.
