👉Here’s what you need to know:

  • What defines “newness”? Experience, exposure, and craft are all considered. Check the official call-out for specifics.
  • Languages? All languages are welcome, but an English transcript is required for non-English submissions.
  • Genre? Unleash your creativity! Sound art, narrative storytelling, fiction – anything goes, as long as it’s audio-based. However, pure interviews or “chatcasts” are less likely to be selected.
  • Previously produced work? No problem! You can submit work from any year, as long as you feel your approach remains fresh. Published or unpublished works are both welcome.
  • Submission limits? One work up to 15 minutes or three works under 5 minutes each.
  • Excerpts? Permissible, but they must function as standalone pieces. Contextual information can be provided in the application if needed.
  • Collaboration? Welcome! As long as the team is comprised of new producers (guidance from mentors is acceptable).
  • Compensation? £50 will be awarded to producers whose work is featured. Importantly, In The Dark will not claim ownership of any intellectual property – this is purely an honorarium.
  • Selection timeline? Expect a response by late July, with presentations happening in mid-August.

Don’t miss this chance to join a vibrant community of audio innovators! Submit your work and be part of the “What’s New?” revolution.🥂🙌🎉
