“Musique est une femme” Video Competition’s Terms and conditions

Competition description

Musique est une femme is a video competition within the project under the same name Musique est une femme, organised by the foundation TAK-Temat Aktualny Kultura /Poland, Handelsbeurs Concert Hall/Belgium, Molyvos International Music Festival/Greece, and the Cēsis Concert Hall/Latvia. Musique est une femme is co-funded by the European Union within the programme Creative Europe.

Although women have been writing music for centuries, their output has always been considered less important. Till recently, they have never had the same professional opportunities as their male peers. Musique est une femme wants to highlight the heritage of women composers and the debate about the stereotypes around the creative capacities of women. Contribute to the online discussion about unfairly forgotten music composed by women before the beginning of the XX century. Submit a video on the topic of the heritage of women composers and/or stereotypes around the composing capabilities of women. Express your opinion in the form of a short video, or just a meme. It can be a look at the stereotypes, or you could give your impressions upon discovering a great female composer, or you might focus on some interesting details of her life. Decide on your own form and content.

Participation in the competition is free.
