Selection Process
As mentioned above, sound and Citymoves are committed to working with and supporting composers from under-represented sections of the population. To enable this, there is a two-stage application process: an initial selection is made, and then this is narrowed down in a second stage selection process. If you are a female or gender-minority composer, disabled, from an ethnic minority and/or from a low-income background, you can choose to self-select to be put forward automatically to the second round.
The selection panel will be made up of Ian Spink, Bill Thompson and representatives of Citymoves Dance Agency and sound.
