The world music expo, WOMEX, is calling artists, bands, DJs and music producers, filmmakers, industry experts and visionaries to submit proposals for the 2021 program. WOMEX will take place in Porto, Portugal, October 27 – 31, 2021. WOMEX is open to traditional music as the new global local underground, embracing folk, roots, jazz, local and diaspora cultures.
“Last year challenged us all in unimaginable ways but also propelled us to innovate, be creative, and problem-solve for issues we never thought we would encounter,” said WOMEX’s Gaurav Narula. “Looking forward to October 2021, we are excited to be planning an on-site event and officially opening the Call for Proposals for WOMEX 21 in Porto, Portugal, today. We recognise that there will still be challenges in our industry this October, and we are pursuing inclusive initiatives to reach and interact with our community across the world.”
The official program is selected by an independent, international and annually changing jury to be announced soon.
Proposals can be made in four categories: Showcase | Club Summit | Film | Conference and can be submitted from the dedicated website: www.womex-apply.com
The deadline for proposals for WOMEX 21 is Friday, 16 April 2021
