SUBMISSION GUIDE
 
If you're a film-maker, theatre artist or club performer, a musician or dj, a writer, comedian, or other creative professional, and you'd like to suggest a project to queerupnorth then we'd love to hear from you. 

queerupnorth International Festival takes place in Manchester every May and queerupnorth is also responsible for projects and events at various other points during the year. 

Whether you're working on something already, or you've just got an idea, the best thing to do is talk to us as early as possible. We can't do everything that's brought along to us, but if you'd like to suggest something, get in touch with Jonathan Best, queerupnorth's Artistic Director, via email at jonathan@queerupnorth.com or call 0161 234 2942.  

If you’d like to invite Jonathan Best to a performance or event, please email him with as much advance notice as possible, and certainly three weeks in advance. 

 		 

GUIDELINES
 
To submit work for consideration, please send us as much as you can of the following:
  • Company/Artist information i.e. CV or press pack
  • DVD or video of the piece in question/ or past performances/ showreel
  • Scripts
  • Promotional images (CD-Rom or photographs)
  • Press cuttings/newspaper reviews
  • Details of upcoming shows - please provide details of where we can see your work
  • Any other information you feel supports your submission

Don’t worry if you don’t have everything on the list; we’re interested in exciting ideas no matter how early they are in their development. It’s always worth getting in touch and talking to us.

If you are submitting a film for consideration please download our entry form QUNFilmEntry08.doc and include with any relevant materials.

We accept submissions throughout the year but please be aware we programme at least a year in advance. In the case of full-scale theatre, thinking 18 months in advance is best, and in the case of visual art it can be two years depending on gallery availability – though we can do a certain amount at less notice. If your project is small (and inexpensive!) it can be possible to make plans with much less advance notice – but please note that submissions made after December of each year are unlikely to be considered for the following year's May festival.

Please send submissions to:

Jonathan Best
Artistic Director
queerupnorth (IQUN Limited)
Greenfish Resource Centre
46-50 Oldham Street
Manchester
M4 1LE 

If you would like to send your submission via email to jonathan@queerupnorth.com

As we are a small team, we do ask for your patience in responding to submissions due to the volume we receive. But if you haven’t heard anything after a few weeks, do email or phone to chase us up. Thanks.
