Noise Festival

NOISE is not your typical arts festival. It has no physical location; the central hub of activity takes place on the NOISE website and across the media - print, television, radio and online. NOISE exhibits the very best in creative talent from people 25 and under - any creative work that can be presented digitally. The NOISE website acts as the gateway to submissions which means that entrants can live anywhere in the UK and it's free to take part.
