NEWS: THE 19th ANNUAL NXNE NOW OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS
After the most successful year yet, NXNE (NORTH BY NORTHEAST) is excited to announce that submissions for the 19th Annual NXNE, June 10-16, 2013, are now open.
NXNE invites
musicians, filmmakers, and comics to apply for a chance to be a part of
one of the world’s premier arts festivals. Submissions will be accepted
– online only – at www.nxne.com until January 31, 2013. Artists can visit www.nxne.com and
follow the links to submit music, films, or comedy video/audio to NXNE.
Submissions received by December 31 cost $28 — after December 31, the
fee rises to $38.
NXNE Interactive is also seeking submissions, via the popular NXNEi Panel Programmer.
Users can submit their ideas for panel discussions and presentations
that will inspire and inform attendees about a range of topics in the
digital space. Submissions are being accepted until November 2, 2012 at
midnight and can be made online at nxne.com/submissions – at no cost.
NXNE is proud to include Comedy as an official stream of the 2013 festival in addition to Music, Film and Interactive . Over the past three years, NXNE has
presented some of the best comedians in Canada – including Debra
DiGiovanni, Mark DeBonis, Trevor Boris, and Scott Thompson’s sketch
troupe Mouth Congress. Building on a stellar 2012, in which NXNE’s 75 comics drew rave reviews, the festival looks forward to an even stronger comedy lineup for next June.
NXNE 2012 saw
phenomenal growth: more artists, more film premieres, more day parties
and more fans than ever before. During the 7-day festival, more than
330,000 fans experienced NXNE – anchored by NXNE Music’s combined evening audience of 60,000 at Yonge-Dundas Square on the Saturday for The Flaming Lips and on the Sunday for Raekwon and Ghostface Killah.
NXNE Music programs
over 800 artists on 55 stages, including music across a full range of
genres: rock, hip-hop, punk, alt-country, DJ, folk, electronica,
experimental and more. NXNE Film screens documentaries, shorts, animations, and feature films – anything in which music is front and centre. NXNE Interactive brings
together digital creators, tech entrepreneurs, and business visionaries
– anyone interested in maximizing productivity and enjoyment of digital
technology and social media. NXNE Comedy presents popular and emerging stand-up and sketch acts from around the world.
