Submission Entry Forms (doc) (pdf)
Complete Submission Guidelines can be found here.

New Adventures in Sound Art invites artists of all ages and nationalities to submit works on the theme A Sonic Portrait for consideration in 2008 future programming for the annual Deep Wireless, Sound Travels, and SOUNDplay festivals, produced by New Adventures in Sound Art in Toronto, Canada.

Individual interpretations or variations on the theme are encouraged: A Sonic Portrait could be a portrait of a person, place or thing done entirely in sound, an audio journal, a soundscape portrait, sound mapping, a visualization of a sound and so on.

All submitted works must respond in some way to the theme A Sonic Portrait in order to be considered for 2008 NAISA programming.

Radio Art
The Radio Art category is for works conceived for radio or that use radio and other wireless technology in their creation and that play with the medium. Works submitted to this category must be less than 60 minutes in duration. Special consideration will be given to 1 minute radio art pieces for broadcast as well as 1 page proposals for collaboration on translocal broadcast performances.

Pieces will be selected for broadcast within Canada and on several international radio stations in May 2008 as part of the Deep Wireless festival of radio and transmission art.

Both Canadian and International radio art submissions will be considered for inclusion in the following:

• The Deep Wireless 4 radio art compilation CD
• The radio art interventions (1 minute pieces played guerilla-style on radio stations during the Deep Wireless festival)
• The Radio Art Salon - a listening gallery of radio art works exhibited for the month of May.

A small number of Canadian artists will be chosen from the submissions to be part of the Deep Wireless/CBC's Outfront Commissioning Programme in 2008 with residencies at Charles Street Video in Toronto.

Installation Art
Installation proposals of previously realized works for site-specific and gallery installations with no fixed duration will be considered for presentation as part of Deep Wireless, Sound Travels or SOUNDplay. Site-specific works can be for indoor or outdoor locations. Works can use multichannel or single channel playback and may incorporate any number of media, but must feature original sound as a primary element. Please attach a list of the necessary equipment required to mount the installation and which of these items can be supplied by the artist. Submissions should include audio, video or audio-video documentation of previously realized versions of the work.
