ECMA and Australian Music Week Present: The AUSCAN Music Spotlight at Eastlink East Coast Music Week 2016
ECMA and Australian Music Week (AMW) are excited to partner together to present the ‘AUSCAN Music Spotlight’ collaborative initiative at Eastlink East Coast Music Week (ECMW) festival and conference in Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada from April 13 – 17.
ECMW is one of Canada’s premiere music industry trade events and brings together some of the industry’s biggest and best minds to lead four days of seminars, workshops, mentorship programs, showcases, and business meetings.
Celebrating its 15th edition, the ECMW International Export Buyers Program will welcome more than 50 international and Canadian music talent buyers, booking agents, promoters, festivals, event programmers, presenters, publishers, publicists, music placement supervisors and media from around the world. Attended by more than 2,000 conference delegates, this program is strategically designed to provide new business opportunities for exporting artists and companies.
The ‘AUSCAN Music Spotlight’ collaborative initiative is designed to offer reciprocal business opportunities and provides access to new markets for Atlantic Canadian and Australian exporting artists.
Two Australian artists/groups will be selected for two showcase performances at ECMW 2016. Artists of all genres are encouraged to submit via this submission form. Deadline for submissions is Monday, November 30th.
Criteria & Approval Process
Select artists must demonstrate they are export-ready and/or have exporting experience and the ability and team to maximize on this showcase opportunity. Artists must demonstrate current touring experience in the Australian music market. This partnered initiative includes showcase opportunities at ECMW (and AMW), songwriting collaborations and touring exchanges between the two markets.
The ECMA award and stages programming committee will make the final selection on which Australian artists will be involved to showcase at ECMW 2016.
