Hybrid FORMAT

Electronic music performance is incredibly diverse, and this competition celebrates all forms of creative stage expression. The format is designed to surprise and showcase the technological possibilities of tomorrow. Participants are judged on technical mastery, artistic vision, and their ability to craft a cohesive and impactful narrative within a 7-minute time limit.

Schedule

The competition is scheduled for April 8th at 4:00 PM and will take place in Hall 11 of the MusicOneX area at Messezentrum Frankfurt.

All participants and their supporters are entitled to free tickets for the entire trade fair. Please register and inform us of the total number of tickets you require. 

Hardware

There are no limitations on the hardware participants can use, but setup time is restricted to 15 minutes. All equipment must be pre-approved to ensure compatibility with the venue. Supporting tools like microphones and headphones are allowed, but large-scale or hazardous setups are prohibited. This approach ensures a practical, streamlined performance environment while fostering creativity and innovation.

Criteria

Judges evaluate creativity, technical skill, and the overall impact of the performance. Delivering a unique and innovative demonstration that stands out from typical electronic music performances can earn extra points. After the showcase, the judges will evaluate the execution, discuss the performance with the participant, and review the hardware setup to gain deeper insight into the artistic approach behind the presentation.
