Whatever you do, wherever you come from, our Jury wants to hear the best from all artists who deserve wider audiences and have the professional standards necessary to tour.
Horizons, a new partnership between the music organisations of England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, will host the local stage
at this year’s WOMEX in Cardiff. It will showcase some of the best world music talent from across the British Isles and Ireland.

Artists from these countries who submit a bid to the WOMEX Showcase Festival, will have an additional chance to secure a valuable showcase slot on the Horizons Stage. There is no separate application process. Artists from these Horizons nations not selected for showcase by the WOMEX Jury, will automatically be eligible for consideration for the Horizons Stage, with the selection being made by a panel of Horizons appointed music experts.
Horizons members are Arts Council England, Arts Council Northern Ireland, Arts Council Ireland, Culture Ireland, Cerdd Cymru : Music Wales, Creative Scotland and Scottish Music Industry Association. The partnership is supported by British Council.
