The European League of Institutes of the Arts (ELIA) is pleased to announce the second edition of the NEU/NOW festival that will present the most exciting and creative NEU artistic talent NOW emerging across Europe and beyond.

_

The NEU/NOW Festival is an innovative platform for talented graduating or recent graduate artists – coming out of Higher Arts Education Institutions and Universities across Europe and beyond – to present themselves to a wider international audience within professional contexts. The Festival features the most excellent new artists now entering the professional arts arenas and will be a showcase of emerging creative talent.

The NEU/NOW Festival is: 25 Projects have been selected to feature in the LIVE Festival, to perform or exhibit at Galerie l’Atelier, Le Lieu Unique, Salle Vasse, Galerie RDV, and Cinéma Katorza.

Selected artists come from Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Estonia, Finland, France, Hungary, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.

Also, 87 artists from 19 countries have been selected for the Virtual Festival, which will be online at www.neunow.eu , widely accessible to arts professionals and public alike.

The NEU/NOW Live Festival 2010 will be hosted by the vibrant city of Nantes in France in the frame of the ELIA Biennial Conference, that will attract around 500 delegates from all over the world.

The NEU/NOW Festival is open to graduating arts students and recent graduates (within one year of graduation) of higher arts institutions and universities who are ELIA members, ELIA associated members, ELIA non-European members or who are member of the ELIA partner networks AEC, CUMULUS and CILECT.

Students (as individuals or groups) are nominated, by their institution, within one of the following five discipline categories. Member institutions may nominate up to three student/graduate entries in each of the five discipline categories listed above.

_

A judging panel of experts, in each of the five arts disciplines, has been selected from across Europe. They have selected work on the basis of the following criteria:
Work that: In making their selections, each judging panel has been mindful of the need to ensure that the overall profile of work selected should be broadly representative of the diversity of entries and that the final selection should offer as wide as possible a representation of international regions.

_

Each of the works selected from ELIA members, associate members, and ELIA non-European members for presentation in the programme of the NEU/NOW Live festival in Nantes will be eligible for a grant towards the costs associated with presenting the work in Nantes. The nominating institution will need to agree to meet any costs associated with specific works that are not met by the ELIA grant.

Selected works for the NEU/NOW Live festival from AEC, CUMULUS and CILECT member institutions (who are not also members of ELIA) will not be eligible for an ELIA grant and will have to finance the costs associated with presenting work in Nantes themselves.

ELIA is committed to equal opportunity for all and welcomes submissions from all applicants, irrespective of gender, sexual orientation, physical handicaps, ethnicity, religion and social, cultural, and geographic backgrounds.

The organisation coordinating the Festival is the European League of Institutes of the Arts (ELIA), founded in 1990. ELIA is an independent network representing 350 European Higher Arts Education Institutions and Universities in 47 countries, covering all arts disciplines.
Through its membership network ELIA promotes dialogue, mobility, research, sharing of best practice and activities between artists, teachers, administrators and leaders, altogether representing more than 250,000 art students.

Deadline for nominations expired 8 June 2010
