Radar festival 07

RADAR FESTIVAL: CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

THE festival is in its second year and is all about giving aspiring directors the chance to work with some of the best talent in the music industry. Kylie Minogue, Just Jack, Maximo Park and Richard Hawley are just some of the artists who have released their tracks to the festival for up and coming directors to work with.

Winners will get mentoring with world class promo production companies The Directors Bureau, Black Dog and Draw Pictures. Finalists will win record label commissions or cash. This year, we've also added a new student category with a prize of £1k, judged by Qoob.tv. As well as prizes, Radar gives finalists a valuable level of exposure. All tracks are licensed so directors can use their promos for personal showreels or festivals.

The first Radar, held in January 07, was a huge success. From the 230 people who entered, four directors already have representation with production companies, nine directors have made or are making promos for labels, two have made big brand commercials and many directors have been invited to pitch for work as a result of Radar. Every one of them says Radar has helped them get these results.

The closing date for entries is the 7th October. Promos will be judged by record labels and production companies. Shortlisted promos will be screened online.

Dazed and Confused will be hosting online voting and we'll also be partnering with Channel 4 talent and BBC Film Network. All tracks are licensed and we've got a large collection of videos and stills for you to host.
