Call for works Let us hear your ideas and how they represent your world. Create a piece for radio that reflects your culture and examines social issues that are relevant to you. New Adventures in Sound Art invites submissions of any duration less than 60 minutes in length that examine cultural and social issues in the first person, make use of original sound sources in interesting and innovative ways and are suitable for radio broadcast.

It's fifteen minutes of storytelling, experimental audio and new ways of making radio. Stories told from Canadian perspectives about the Canadian experience. You won't hear traditional storytelling, and you won't hear reporters or hosts. Outfront explores new ways of presenting stories which break the radio mold. Radio 1 can be heard in Toronto at 99.1 FM. Charles Street Video ("CSV") is a non-profit, artist-run centre located in downtown Toronto.
