We are announcing a gig opportunity at Bukta, inviting young artists aged 15-29 from Northern Norway to submit their demo.
The project is an evolution of the former concept Bukta Battle, where, among others, Heave Blood & Die, A Million Pineapples, and Lüt had the opportunity to perform on stage at Bukta. We're refining the concept a bit while giving more artists the chance to be considered for a gig.
The deadline to apply is Wednesday, March 20, at 23:00.
The lucky winner will receive:
- A gig at Bukta Festival, Saturday, July 20
- A gig at Bukta For Everyone, Saturday, July 20
- Single recording at Kysten studio at Tvibit
- A scholarship of NOK 20,000 from our partner Ishavskraft
- Mentoring sessions tailored to the artist's development
We encourage both new artists and those who have been performing for a while to submit their demo, seeing this as an opportunity to develop as an artist.
The requirements to participate are:
- You reside in Northern Norway
- You are between 15-29 years old
- You have a demo in the form of an audio file or video recording (please do not send files directly; instead, send links from YouTube, Soundcloud, Dropbox, Google Drive, Spotify, etc.)
There are no other requirements. A jury composed of professional figures from the music industry in the north will select an artist or a band that gets the opportunity to be seen and heard by thousands of audience members.
To apply: Sign up via this link.
For questions or more information, send an email marked "Gig at Bukta" to post@bukta.no.
Everyone will receive a response by May 1, 2024.
The project is in collaboration with Ishavskraft and supported by Musikkontoret Nord, Tromsø Municipality through Leisure and Tvibit, Troms County Council, and the Cultural Council.
