Be a Part of HearSay

There’s no audience at HearSay.
There are no name badges at HearSay.
Instead, we come together in the spirit of possibility to play, nourish, connect and breathe.

You can be a part of the joyful what-if-ery through pitching to our open call as a programme contributor, as an entrant to the HearSay Audio Prize, as a member of our wonderful crew, or as an attendee soaking it all in, and if you can't make it this year, consider supporting the future of HearSay.
