The Sixth Dimension Music Video Competition

YOUR MUSIC - BROUGHT TO LIFE - FROM ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD!

New Enterprise Studios, headquartered in Sunderland, England are proud to announce the Sixth Dimension Music Competition – looking to uncover the greatest unknown artists from all over the world. NES hopes this will competition be an ongoing annual tradition to help and discover heretofore unrealized and unspotted talent from across the globe. Giving them a platform and a voice.

How much exciting new music has been created over the last two years that has not, and may never, be heard because of an inability to perform? How much have we been set back? Music videos have always been an exciting way to entice new listeners and generate sales for bands but are also a product that is often too expensive for independent artists to afford at a professional level.

This competition aims to bend space and time for the very purpose of awarding four winner’s music videos to highlight and expose the world to their talent.

The competition is opened to all ages, genres, solo artists/bands. This competition made its debut in 2021, with exciting prizes for two local talent/s (Local consisting of anyone primarily based in the United Kingdom or surrounding islands) and two international talent/s. It crowned worthy winners and now returns to find more.

For the local winner, New Enterprise Studios will personally help the artist create and record their own music video within its Sunderland premises. For the international winner, the artist will receive online coaching and discussion and New Enterprise Studios will commit to helping them compile, edit and produce a professional music video at a distance.

The video for the International concept has been predesigned and created by New Enterprise Studios, with this concept honed with the International Winner and made into reality. More on this will be revealed.

The runners up in each category will receive a lyric video, produced in collaboration with New Enterprise Studios, as a prize to help promote their winning entries.

All shortlisted candidates will receive a certification of merit, sent digitally, marking their successful shortlisting in the process.

All prizes allow the winning artists distribution rights to their created work, including the possibilities to upload to YouTube and enter in festivals – however they may choose. In addition to this prize, both artists will receive airplay for the tracks across multiple platforms including radio stations and podcasts.

All submitted songs, provided they are exclusively owned by the artists from whom they are provided, will also go onto the NES database for potential use in future film projects.

Any songs used in films will have a percentage paid directly to the composers.

Working with partners across the North East, the judging panel consists of Journalist Wayne Madden who has contributed to publications such as NE Volume and The Crack Magazine and is also one of the Company Directors of NES. Wayne has also worked for the BBC and is currently a presenter and producer with Nova Radio North East.

Wayne will be joined by fellow NES Director and Special Effects wizard and Filmmaker/Writer/Director/Producer Wayne Thompson who has close to 25 years’ experience and has worked alongside International Artists such as Little Caesar and the Tygers of Pan Tang. Mr Thompson has also acted in several productions and chiefly his passions in old school special effects efforts means his insight to the winning artists would prove invaluable.

The judging panel will also include 2021's UK Winners AXLS and Runner's Up Alex James Band, both artists having returned to help support the second year of the competition, to find more talent to help.

The panel will also include additional judges to be finalised and announced via http://newenterprisestudios.com/competition.
