Submit Your Music
Submit your music to one of the UK’s largest film festivals. Reach new audiences. Meet filmmakers, directors, gamers, game designers, VFX specialists, coders, designers and play your music at the BAFTA and BIFA-Qualifying Aesthetica Film Festival.
Aesthetica joins forces with Talentbanq, Caffè Nero, and Beggars Group to present a bold new platform for live music.
The New Music Stage Competition is a vibrant launchpad for emerging artists, joining screen culture, performance and music. This showcase brings together 10 breakthrough – from indie and hiphop to alt-pop and folk. Set in the cinematic context of one of the UK’s leading film festivals, it’s an open invitation to hear what’s next in contemporary music.
All entries include a ticket to Aesthetica's Music Programme on Saturday 7 November: attend panels, network with industry and access an all-day music festival.
All performances selected for the New Music Stage will be eligible for the Best Music Award, decided by a jury of industry experts. This award includes a £1,000 cash prize, mentorship from Beggars Group and TALENTBANQ and the chance for your music to be played across every UK Caffè Nero.
