Call for Delegates to Ung Nordisk Musik Finland festival 25-30
August 2025

As part of Scotland’s involvement in the 2024 edition of Nordic Music Days, four
composers travelled to Örebro, Sweden, as delegates to the Ung Nordisk Musik festival.
They attended workshops, talks, and concerts, got to know delegates and music from throughout the Nordic region, and explored opportunities to work together in the future.

The next UNM festival will take place in Helsinki, Finland between 25 and 30 August 2025. A small number of delegates will be supported by the Scottish Government’s
Nordic Office and Art Music Scotland to travel in order to take part in the festival.

Composers, sound artists, improvisers, and creative musicians who are under the age of 30 on 30 August 2025, and have been resident in Scotland for at least 18 months at the date of application, are invited to apply to participate. Applicants must be available
to spend at least 3 nights in Helsinki during the festival dates, with the intention of attending events in the festival programme and representing Scotland at this international event. Travel, accommodation and per diems will be covered. Individuals
from traditionally under-represented groups are particularly encouraged to apply.

The final number of delegates will depend on travel costs at the time of selection, but the intention is for 3 or 4 delegates to be able to attend.

Applications will close on 20th July at midnight, and applicants will be notified by the middle of the following week. To apply please complete the form at
