RADAR series: terms and conditions of the call for artists

As part of this call for applications, RADAR is looking for artists who are interested in developing their careers at a local level. Our internal programming committee will evaluate the proposals and make their selections in early February.    

The committee will look at factors such as artistic quality/uniqueness of the band, market dynamics (recent releases, number of airplay, press, awards, etc.), and ability to benefit from the opportunity to be showcased in the RADAR Series. (Team, touring history, grants, etc.).
