Grand Prix Nova aims to attract radio drama productions from all over the world. We are particularly interested in rewarding innovative artistic works that explore new approaches to radio drama broadcast.

We like to define innovation as the artistic trend that reaches to the new generations by finding more efficient technical and esthetic approaches to deliver its message. That artistic product that „breaks into” the market or society.

Grand Prix Nova already learns from its own experience so please observe the changes from the previous edition. The guests are invited to carefully consult the rules and regulations of the festival.

We look forward to meeting you in Bucharest for an intense week of auditions and debates, where you'll also have the chance to discover life in Bucharest, a city happily blending Balkan influences and the Latin tradition.

A jury including, but not limited to radio personalities is responsible for deciding the winners of the Grand Prix Nova festival. However, every participant's active input will enrich the pool of ideas upon which the final decisions will be made.

As our festival is open to the entire world, we want to bring together many different sound cultures. All participants will become informed of the most up to date trends in radio drama, and will get to meet new and old friends alike. This year too we intend to offer you interesting off competition showcases and workshops that will enrich your experience and inspire you for the future.

Please download the Registration Form and follow the instructions. 

All the registrations must be sent by March 1st, 2017.

The preselection results will be announced no later than April 15th, 2017.

Surrounded by sound  

showcase devoted to 360/binaural productions

Grand Prix Nova calls for 360/binaural radio dramas and sound works.

By introducing an off competition on-line section, Grand Prix Nova wishes to give the opportunity for audio artists from all over the world to present their binaural productions for the guests of our festival, the Romanian public and a worldwide audience.

This showcase will assure a well needed exchange of different artistic visions in a technique that attracts the young audience making the best of the earphone listening experience.
