THE 17TH ANNUAL NXNE NOW OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS
:: Coming off the biggest year ever, NXNE (NORTH BY NORTHEAST) invites musicians and filmmakers to apply at www.nxne.com
for a chance to jump on board for the 17th edition of one of the world's premier festivals for new music and music-related films. Submissions for next June's festival will be accepted - online only - at www.nxne.com
until January 31, 2011. NXNE 2010 expanded to 7 days, hitting new levels in attendance and international media coverage. The festival's impact was larger than ever - including a complete
closure of Yonge Street for the biggest free show ever seen in Toronto, featuring Iggy and The Stooges. 2010 also saw NXNE launch a groundbreaking Interactive festival component. Now, in its 17th year, the
festival is more important than ever for all artists looking to instantly reach thousands of new fans, meet key industry people, and take their careers to the next level. NXNE
gives artists what they need to connect with a huge audience and essential music-biz decision makers:
7 days and 50 venues with 270,000 fans and thousands more industry professionals - from Toronto's
hottest clubs and cinemas, to stages around the downtown core and at Pearson Airport, to four days and nights of jam-packed outdoor concerts at Yonge-Dundas Square.
Local, national, and international
media: tastemaking music blogs, UK magazines & radio stations, and Canadian television networks, print journalists and photographers. NXNE
shows are broadcast internationally and each year's top bands get worldwide attention.
A direct pipeline from the festival straight to the airwaves: NXNE pumps the music of the best Canadian
NXNE musicians straight out to over 250 influential radio programmers across the country via the NXNE TOP 60 TIP SHEET.
