Skicka in era bidrag (samt i förekommande fall även medlemsansökan till svenska sektionen ISCM, se även sidan ”bli medlem”) SENAST DEN 20 JUNI 2019 till iscmsweden2019(at)gmail.com. Mer information inklusive information kring individuella inskick (som vem som helst kan välja att göra men som kostar 50€, en kostnad som ni slipper om ni väljs ut genom svenska sektionens utlysning) kan hittas på festivalens hemsida: https://www.iscm2020.nz/call-for-works
