Pan-ArcticVision
NUUK 2024!

CALLING ALL ARCTIC ARTISTS!!
Deadline: May 15th

Welcome to the second edition of Pan-ArcticVision, a truly international, border-crossing experience of song, community and empowerment!

We are calling on all Arctic musicians, bands / artists to join us in Nuuk, Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland), October 12th 2024, for a streamed live production!

Together with local partners, we are looking for participants from:

- Alaska
- Yukon, Canada
- Nunavut, Canada
- Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland)
- Island
- Føroyar (Faroe Islands)
- Nord-Norge (Northern Norway) / Norwegian side of Sápmi
- Norra Sverige (Northern Sweden) / Swedish side of Sápmi
- Pohjois-Suomi (Northern Finland)
- Russian Arctic Exiles

Requirements:

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 Pan-ArcticVision, we are NOT looking for your typical «Eurovision-song»: The Pan-ArcticVision is about the local cultures of the Arctic; how they are similar and how they are different. We want local languages, local musical cultures and local fusions of styles (no English for those who not are not native English-speakers). 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; let us talk, please! - 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 -

In the registration form, you are asked to submit:

- Links to recordings of earlier music / songs
- Description of an idea for your PAV-contribution (if you have an idea at this point)
- Some words about yourself / your band (your connection to the Arctic, your cultural and professional background, your language)
- Artist photos
- Possible links to so-me or other interesting stuff

(The forms cannot be saved as you go along, so be sure to have your info ready as you enter the form)

5 -

Incoming proposals will be assessed by a panel combining local competence from each territory and the producers of Pan-ArcticVision (the panel might chose an artist directly, work in dialogue with one or more applicants, or invite artists to apply).
