WEST AND SOUTH REGIONS
DEADLINE FOR MEDIA REGISTRATION AND RECEIPT BY NPN:
NOVEMBER 16, 2007
INTENT
To expose local and regional performing artists from NPN Partner communities to other NPN Partners, Artists, and Colleagues.
PRESENTATION FORMAT
This year’s Media Showcase will feature NPN Partners from the South and West. 12 Partners from each region (South and West) will be eligible to present media on a first come, first served basis. Due to the limited number of slots, NPN encourages cities with multiple NPN Partners and regions to collaborate on their presentation.
Each NPN Partner will have a total of 4 minutes of presentation time. This 4 minutes includes talking time, so please factor this into your presentation and limit your clip to 3 minutes or plan to talk while your clip is rolling. We will enforce 4 minute limit.
To be considered: all media must be registered (through this site) and received by NPN no later than November 16, 2007.
LIMITATIONS
- NPN Partners may not present media of themselves
- Media presentation cannot be any longer than 4 minutes
- Media must be received by NPN and registered (through this site) by November 16, 2007
Recommendation: Keep in mind that the viewing audience will primarily consist of NPN Partners, Artists and Colleagues. Consider the following:
- Is the company too large for the target audience to present?
- Will the company tour under NPN Fees?
VIDEO DEN
In addition to the Media Showcase there will be a private unscheduled Media screening room on site at the hotel. We encourage NPN Partners to use this space to show Media of additional artists or longer excerpts of Showcase Media.
