Every song submitted will:
-
Be judged and receive feedback

SPACE AND TIME
Lockdowns, distance, time, money. All factors which hinder musicians from having Professional Music Videos created for them. We are taking all of those things out of the equation.
You send your music. Our panel of judges listens. We air them on Nova Radio FM (a UK based internet radio station with thousands of listeners) and we pick our favorites and create content for them.

Entries are made via FilmFreeway – An Internationally acclaimed gateway for filmmakers and festivals and events.
To enter: Create an account on the FilmFreeway website and then create a Project. Choose this to be SONG/MUSIC. Add as many details as you can about yourself/band, etc. And upload your song.
Once your project is complete, choose to submit to our Sixth Dimension festival and pay the entry fee via Credit, Debit or PayPal – and you are IN!
Your project on FilmFreeway can be submitted to other festivals as well, opening more horizons for your music!

International winner – A music video created by NES, using an original concept we have designed and incorporating the winning artists into the video via footage gathered through online meetings.
National winner – A music video created by NES, in our Studio, with the artists invited to work the concept and film in person together. After Lockdown has ended.
