Sensoria is delighted to announce 12 bursaries for free admission to SensoriaPro Industry Day. SensoriaPro is a gathering of composers, filmmakers, music publishers, music supervisors, record labels and festivals all under one roof to discuss the latest innovations in music and the moving image. This is a unique opportunity to benefit from a stunning line up of speakers, direct access to international buyers and informal, friendly networking. Guests include Scott Cohen (The Orchard), Sam Diaz (CBS TV Studios), Barry Adamson (Magazine/Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds) and many more..
The day takes place on Thursday 29 April from 10am at Showroom Cinema, Sheffield (directly opposite the train station).
Sensoria is keen to tackle disadvantage and address under representation in the music industry. These bursaries are aimed at new entrants (of any age) to the music industry who would not otherwise have the opportunity, sense of entitlement or financial resources to benefit from the day. Eight Yorkshire-based musicians will be selected and four from across the UK. Reasonable travel expenses will also be covered.
Please submit a short application including name, address, contact telephone and email, plus a statement of no more than 750 words stating how you could benefit from the Pro Day and how you will use the day to progress your knowledge-base, contacts and music career. The selection will be made by Sensoria staff working with an independent music industry professional. Deadline for applications is 19 March 2010.
We are also happy to take short video clips or nominations from colleagues/peers of individuals with talent but who perhaps aren’t great at form filling.
The successful candidates must be committed to attending on the day, throughout the day and to report back on the event to Sensoria staff.

The bursaries were made possible thanks to support from the Church Burgesses Trust.
All applicants will be notified whether they have been selected but Sensoria will not be in a position to enter into any further dialogue other than feedback given on the letter or email.
