Calling all musicians, bands, artists and composers!
Tropfest, in partnership with APRA, is thrilled to announce its fourth competition, where film and music come together. Welcome to TROPSCORE where YOU make the music!
The object of Tropscore is simple – produce a musical score or synch for a short film clip provided by Tropfest. The winning artist or band will receive $5,000 cash, thanks to APRA, and get the chance to perform their score live on stage at Movie Extra Tropfest on Sunday 19th February 2012.
The winning score is picked by a panel of judges, which in past years have included – Paul Mac; Clare Bowditch; Antony Partos (Animal Kingdom); and Andrew Lancaster (Accidents Happen with Gina Davis)
Musician Pluto Jonze won Tropscore in 2009 and has since nabbed a recording contract, released an EP, and works with hot ticket bands like The Jezebels, Cut Copy, The Holidays and Midnight Juggernauts.
“Winning and playing the score live in The Domain to tens of thousands is something I will never forget,” says Jonze. “It gave me the confidence to whole-heartedly pursue my musical ambitions.”
“Tropscore was a real stepping stone for me and a great opportunity not just for classical composers, but for young bands and artists to explore their craft,” he says.
Entries close 12 January 2012, so what are you waiting for? Visit the website to get started.
