For the very first time, mica – music austria is calling for audiovisual entries for the TonBild2011 competition. Musicians and visual artists of all genres are invited to submit their audiovisual works. We are looking for audiovisual works from the year 2011 with a maximum length of 15 minutes. All participating applicants must either be an Austrian citizen or have their main residence in Austria. The choice of music and content is completely up to the artist, experimental visualizations are just as welcome as classic music videos. As part of TonBild 2011, the five best works will be selected by a jury and presented on the 2nd of December 2011 at the traditional annual celebration in the premises of mica.
The Jury:
Eva Fischer (sound:frame)
Michaela Grill (sixpackfilm)
Matthias Leihs (They Shoot Music, Don`t They)
Barbara Pichler (Diagonale)
The musicians and composers of the selected works will receive a portrait on our website www.musicaustria.at, where the best works will be displayed. In addition to an official press release, the winners of the competition will be promoted via the mica-newsletter and the Austrian Music Export newsletter.
