YSWN Rewired: Call for music and sound creators

Celebrating 10 years since YSWN’s founding, the Rewired programme is offering a series of micro-commissions and larger opportunities for women and gender-diverse working with electronic music and sound art in Yorkshire and the Humber.

We want to respond to exciting artistic ideas proposed by the YSWN community and embrace varied influences and practices: supporting a diverse cohort of music creators across a range of music genres.

Rewired is offering:

• 3 x micro commissions worth £750 each

• 1 x main commission worth £1,500

Rewired is supported by Arts Council England’s National Lottery Project Grants.

An associated crowdfunding campaign means that we can offer a further main commission at £1,500 (so 2 main commissions in total) if we hit our crowdfunding target.

There is no specific creative brief set by YSWN – we want to hear YOUR great ideas – though we do have an interest in supporting some ideas that raise public awareness of the climate emergency through sound.

Deadline: 11.59pm on Sunday 11 January 2026.
