Group Applications.

We are now accepting applications by Groups, including music bands and dance companies! If you already have strong content and are looking to be featured by IndianRaga to build a following, this is the best option. You can send in a single application with a link to your group’s performance. If selected, you can work with our team to refine your content and produce it at the Fellowship, and get featured by us

In online group fellowship also, teams will video shoot in person. The audio and video recordings can happen at their convenience.

FAQs on the Application Process. If you still have questions, email info@indianraga.com

Can I apply in multiple categories?

Yes, many Fellows apply in multiple categories because you have to be selected as a Fellow for each genre/category that you wish to perform. Just submit an application separately for each category.

What if my genre/category does not exist in the application?

Just choose Other and specify what the category is in the form itself. We are constantly looking to add new and diverse categories and genres to the Fellowship, so we welcome all entries. Similarly if the genre is not listed, choose Other and specify the details.

Can I submit by email, whatsapp or in any other way?

No. Only online applications through our form are accepted

Does the entry have to be professionally produced?

No. It can be a simple home-made video, we are not evaluating your production skills. Please have bright or natural lighting, a static camera in landscape mode that does not move. No editing or adding special effects is allowed. Please do not submit live stage performance videos, it has to be specially shot for IndianRaga Fellowship

What should the content be? Any other rules I need to keep in mind?

The content should reflect your most advanced skills.

All vocal and melodic instrumental entries must have a tanpura/sruthi box/iTanpura in the background for Indian classical, semi-classical and film songs.
Percussionists must send in videos of them ‘accompanying’ someone, not solo. The artists who is being accompanied will not be evaluated.

Dancers can send in videos in practice clothes, it does not have to be full costume
Pre-recorded videos such as arangetrams, professionally produced and edited videos are not allowed. The submission must be recorded specifically for the IndianRaga Fellowship.

What is the difference between Regular Fellowship and Online Fellowship?

Online Fellowship is a new offering from IndianRaga. Here the selected fellows not only collaborate remotely, they also do their own recordings; both audio and video; and we will take care of the post production.

You just need to have a professional mic for the audio recording and a good smart phone for video.

What if there are more members in my Group?

In a Group Application, each Group can have a maximum of 5 members. If there are more members, there be an additional program fee of $300 per additional participant.
