Open call for individual musicians, collectives, and curators to pitch a project to be streamed on Boiler Room.

While Boiler Room's archive is heavily DJ-focused, applicants are encouraged to explore live performance, instrumentation, and non-club genres. Winning application receives up to GBP 10,000 to bring the project to life, plus additional in-kind support and a full release on Boiler Room's channels. Deadline: Sunday 17 May at 23:59 BST. This is the 14th edition of Broadcast Lab.
