SHOWCASE PROPOSALS

Calling all worldwide musicians…

Come perform in front of one of the largest audiences of global music professionals. Get more information and submit your proposal by Friday, 16 March 2018 via our proposal site.

Each year, WOMEX assembles a broad selection of artists. The jury-selected acts will meet an audiences of dedicated international concert and festival bookers, tour promoters and venues, labels, distributors, journalists and industry professionals – everyone you need to help launch, re-launch, sustain and expand your career. In 2017, 303 artists from 46 countries took to seven stages as part of the Showcase Festival.

WOMEX explicitly welcomes proposals from all backgrounds and especially encourages proposals which increase the diversity of the international music scene – be it culturally, regionally or as regards gender.

We welcome performances of all forms and styles – traditional, classical, modern, popular and electronic – with sets lasting 45 minutes.

We can’t wait to hear your wonderful submissions!

Important – Funding: Please note that WOMEX is not in the position to cover any fees, travel expenses or other costs. What we do provide is the stage, the necessary equipment to perform, local transport to and from the airport and the venue, and our extensive promotional treatment on equal basis with all other WOMEX Showcase artists. That includes promotion of the show itself, newsletters, online promo, publication of full bios and contact details in our WOMEX Guide, and much more. Additionally, all invited artists will get free full access to all features of WOMEX, plus one free registration for our partner of agreement (the artist representative).

If you want to propose a showcase, please think carefully about financing and let the Jury know what support or funding you have.
