HAVE YOUR WORK PUBLISHED ON ASTRES D’OR

Astres d’Or is an established and prestigious international platform for the publication of combined music and artworks since 2017. In the tenth year of our existence we’re entering a new fase in which we’ll actively look for new talent in the avant-garde domain.
For this, we’re starting an open call, open for everyone to participate.

1ST PRIZE: LP PUBLICATION ON ASTRES D’OR
What is the prize:
A music publication on Astres d’Or in the form of a high quality vinyl LP, with your original art in edition of 25.
This combined music and art publication will be highlighted on our website and included in our catalogue. You’ll receive part of the edition (12 ex). The winner agrees that 13 of his/her artworks will become property of Astres d’Or. Twelve of these will be promoted continuously on the Astres d’Or website. One work will be part of the Astres d’Or collection for future exhibitions.

What do we ask:
1. Music.
We’re open for receiving music in the avant-garde domain. This is a broad area and includes many genres and ranges from (but is not limited to) modern classical music to spoken word poetry, from improvised jazz to electro-acoustic music (etc, etc…). NB: Only send us music which fits the avant-garde description. When you’re in doubt, take a good look at the Astres d’Or publications of the last ten years. We will not take in consideration genres which don’t fit in our discography.
2. Art.
Astres d’Or publications come together with original art. This can be the art of the musician but it can also be art of another artist. This art needs to be original art and can be drawings, paintings, photographs, collage, paperwork, textile, etc. We will not take in consideration AI generated work.

What is required:
When you like to participate in this open call, a fee of 35 euro is required. After receiving your fee, we’ll send you a confirmation email in which we’ll explain where you can send your music file and visual documentation. Your visual documentation includes two photos of a selection of the applicable artworks. You don’t need to send original artworks.

After you’ve send us your music and visual documentation:
A first selection of the ten best works will be made after the deadline. We’ll inform the winning artist through our social media channels on Facebook and Instagram. The winner needs to send us 25 artworks, which we’ll then combine with the 25 vinyl records.

Deadline for this Open Call: 1 October 2026.
Announcement of the winner: 1 November 2026.
Publication of the winning work: 1 December 2026.
