NEW FACES 2023: Open call for promising young music professionals from the former Yugoslavia Region

With the New Faces 2023 initiative, representatives of the regional music scene are selecting ten of the most promising young music professionals. Nominations are open until 1st March.

The regional music scene is thriving with fresh and innovative artists, and it's crucial to support young talents who stand out and have a passion for the music industry. Regional festivals and conferences - MENT Ljubljana (Slovenia), Kontakt (Serbia), SHIP (Croatia) and PIN Music Conference (North Macedonia) - have joined forces to select ten talented young professionals from the former Yugoslavia region. New Faces 2023 provides an opportunity for young people (up to 30 years old) who are actively involved in the local and/or regional music scene to build on their skills and connections, and gain valuable experience in the field of music festivals and conferences.
