Soundclash - New Ozco Grant

So it looks like there's a little bit of attention coming your way if you are working in hybridised popular music forms... yes you! There's up to 10k for projects that fit the grid from the Australia Council, our lovely and switched on national funding body.

Due Date: Mon 20th April
Website: www.australiacouncil.gov.au

The Australia Council for the Arts has just announced a new music initiative - Soundclash. In the past ten years, the field of contemporary popular music (pop, rock, hip hop, electronic dance music and other, related modern music forms) has become increasingly hybrid, challenging the boundaries of the form itself.

'Soundclash' seeks to address these developments by supporting contemporary popular music that takes risks and demonstrates a strong commitment to experimentation. The initiative aims to support experimental, creative and innovative music projects across all styles of contemporary popular music. Musically successful innovation within the popular music format is a key consideration in the assessment of this initiative.

'Soundclash' provides funding of up to $10,000 for any costs associated with a contemporary popular music project.

Guidelines are now available on our website at www.australiacouncil.gov.au/soundclash . Application forms will be online six weeks before the closing date.
