HOW IT WORKS?

Step 1: Open Call

May 21, 2024 – August 16, 2024

They are looking for songs written in the official or minority languages of the seven participating countries (Catalonia, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Poland, Portugal and Ukraine), that have a potential to make it in the European music market. Slovene is official minority language of Italy.

Step 2: Song Selection

August 17, 2024 – September 15, 2024

Their Curatorial Board (one representative from each Partner and one music professional outside the Project) goes through the received applications and selects 10 songs per country (70 songs total). Then each Partner selects 30 songs that they think have potential in their markets.

Step 3: Rights Clearance, translation

They have to make sure that all parties (authors, copyright holders, new artists etc) involved are in complete agreement with the terms and conditions. Then they will translate the lyrics into the local languages.

Step 4: Production

Now the fun begins! Partners will start re-recording their 30 translated songs, with the help of local artists. 

Step 5: Sales

Now that the local hits are born, they have to make sure that they find their audience. They will team up with radio, tv channels, export offices, streaming services to reach as many people as we can!

Step 6: Live show

Once all 30 songs per country have been released, it’s up to the public to decide who’s the fairest of them all. The public vote will take place separately in the 7 countries, and the winning song – the best adaptation, if you may – will get an award, to perform their song with the original performer through a concert!
