Bubble UK: Spotify and Talenthouse invite creatives to express what they’re #nowfeeling

 

Spotify is teaming up with Talenthouse, the world’s creative network, to invite artists, designers, filmmakers and animators to create artwork that shows how music can express a thousand words and emotions.

 

The new brief comes as the latest phase of Spotify’s #nowfeeling brand campaign, which launches today in the UK and takes a look at how music can inspire emotions, memories and relationships, and how a song can express how you’re #nowfeeling better than words.

 

Spotify and Talenthouse are issuing an open brief to all artists to design a vision that expresses how music connects us all, which links to an emotion or experience or an important person in their life and conveys how it makes them feel. It could be based upon real moments from their own past or something shared with a friend or loved one. The creative solution should engage 18-24 year-olds for whom music plays an important role in developing their identity, navigating life, and connecting with people around them.

 

Filmmakers and animators are encouraged to create their own original 15 second – 30 second film inspired by #NowFeeling and the 90 second films that Spotify has already created.

 

The winning artist will receive part of a prize pool of £5,000 and the opportunity to power-up their career as their design will be promoted across Spotify social channels, feature in a Spotify paid media campaign and have future work commissioned by Spotify.

 

Talenthouse and Spotify’s combined platforms will offer an exceptional opportunity for the winning creative to have their work showcased and seen by a global audience.

 

The deadline for entries is 16 June 2014.
