Planning Ahead For SXSW 2007...

One of the most asked questions is "How can my band/film/website get recognized as an official part of SXSW?". The first step is to make sure you submit your work for consideration during the appropriate application (sometimes called "submission") period. You should also stop by the website in August for detailed information on applying for Festival consideration.

In order to stay best informed, sign up for the appropriate email list and you will get monthly (or so) notification of upcoming deadlines and info related to SXSW. You may also send an email to the Sales staff throughout the year with any questions you may have about marketing opportunities at SXSW.

Clifford Antone 1949-2006


Clifford Antone at 2006 Austin Music Awards
Clifford Antone passed away on May 23. His devotion to the blues led to his history-making nightclub, store and label. Austin's music community feels this loss deeply. As a collaborator with SXSW through twenty years, Clifford's input and reputation led to many amazing, unforgettable showcases. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family.

The current Austin Chronicle features detailed remembrance of this strong supporter of the Blues and pioneer of the Austin music scene.
