Useful Information & Guidelines

How to Apply to Mundial Montréal

For this call for applications, Mundial Montréal is looking for artists who want to develop their careers on a national and international level. Our selection committee, made up of 5 industry professionals, will review submissions and announce their choices by the end of May.

The committee will consider factors such as artistic quality, the uniqueness of the group, project momentum in the market (recent releases and performances, press coverage, awards, etc.), and the ability to take full advantage of the opportunity to be showcased at Mundial Montréal (team, planned tours and releases, grants, etc.).

Please note that these are only examples of factors that may influence the decision. They are optional, there is no points system, and the process remains subjective.
