CALLING ALL BLOGGERS, indy publishers, radio makers and anyone else that is making their own media...
Are you out there creating and publishing your own thoughts and interested in getting together with like minded folks, then plan to be in Newcastle from 28th September - 2 October.
This Is Not Art Festival (TINA) and the National Young Writers Festival (NYWF) wants Australian independent media makers to come along toAustralia's largest annual gathering of independent media makers andstay and play for free!
TINA is the place where Australia's most interesting young writers, media makers, publishers, digital artists, musicians and troublemakers get together and we want you to be there. TINA takes place in Newcastle, NSW over the October long weekend and incorporates The National Young Writers Festival, Sound Summit (independent electronic music and hip-hop festival), Electrofringe (Australia's largest digital media arts festival), The National Student and Emerging Media Conference (Campus newspapers, radio, etc) and much more.
Check out the website to find out the extensive list of who's who in the world of independent media, to name but a few, The Chaser, Is Not, Mess+Noise, Voiceworks, Vibewire, Frankie and Crikey...
There's bands galore, radio, TV and the list goes on.
So, if you're making your own media in the form of your own blog, community radio show, podcast, independent publication or web based publication that comes out regularly and have been doing so for at least 3 months. Plus you agree to write or say something (anything!) about the festival- such as your attendance at the festival, or you could comment on the festival itself- review, preview, interview, it doesn't even have to be positive! TINA will also try and help set up interviews with other guests if that's to your liking.
Agree to those terms and you can get:
* Free entry to about two hundred panels, workshops and sessions at the festival (ok, so they are free anyway!).
* Free accommodation in their campground (it's BYO tent!).
* Some free drinks and the chance to meet all those people who you only know by pixel and print at the Bloggers Booze Up event on Saturday evening.
* The chance to learn a thing or two (and contribute to TINA discussions) about everything from writing and editing, publishing, reviewing, legal issues, sedition laws, independent marketing, advertising, DIY pornography, computer game development, zine making and all the other crazy stuff that goes on at the festival.
* The opportunity to spend a long weekend hanging out with Australia's largest collection of independent media makers.
* The opportunity to spruik your wares at a FREE table TINA's famous Zine Fair - Australia's largest and most diverse collection of independent publications.
