IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE APPLYING

  • It is helpful to view and read the soundpedro website in order to become familiar with the event and venue:
    You can review past soundpedro events here: https://www.soundpedro.org/archives
    You can view past VBODOBV programs here:
    https://www.soundpedro.org/vbodobv-2021
    https://www.soundpedro.org/vbodobv-2020
  • It is important that artists understand that soundpedro is a sound art event and not a music event. Work characterized solely by the elements and hierarchical use of pitch, melody, rhythm, tempo or meter will not be accepted. Juxtaposing musical content with sound or other sensory expressions should express the differences.
    If the proposed work "sounds like music," offer an explanation as to why it qualifies as sound art.
  • Artist is responsible for all production expenses.. FLOOD will write letters of recommendation for those artists seeking funds elsewhere.
  • Note: If you have content longer than 20 or 30 minutes (single video or collection of videos), please consider submitting to ACE [artist curated events] here: https://www.soundpedro.org/call-ace
  • FLOOD's Proposal Review
    FLOOD will review your proposal and will email you our decision.
    If we have questions, we may contact you via the email or phone number in your submission.
    If accepted we will request a representative photo of the artist or artwork to use on our website (unless we already have one from another soundpedro2022 submission).
  • Terms & Conditions
    Production expenses are the responsibility of the artist. FLOOD will write letters of recommendation for those artists seeking funds elsewhere.
    If you are invited to be a participant in soundpedro, your name, likeness, as well as your work may be used for publicity purposes and materials related to this event, including, but not limited to, press releases, advertising, social media, publications, recordings, and soundpedro related websites.
    By submitting your application electronically, you authorize the use of your name, likeness and work for the above-mentioned purpose. Please note that all other personal information (address, telephone numbers, etc.) is strictly for internal use.

Non-acceptance, in many cases, is not reflective of the quality of the artwork submitted. Reasons for non-acceptance may include:

  • The submission did not follow the guidelines.
  • The work did not appear to be completely realized.
