CRN Program Criteria

We're looking for programs that:
  • Emphasise Australian Music: Prioritise and showcase music produced by Australian artists, celebrating the rich and diverse talent within our country, ensuring that 40% of the music played is from Australian artists. 
  • Champion Diversity: Represent the full spectrum of Australian society by including the views and music of First Nations people, LGBTIQ+ individuals, gender non-conforming individuals, and those from multicultural backgrounds. Aim for a balanced representation among program-makers with 40% male-identifying, 40% female-identifying, and 20% by any and no gender, including gender diverse individuals. Content should be reflective of the current demographic make-up of Australia, as governed by the most recent census data. 
  • Promote Local Arts and Culture: Feature locally produced arts and cultural content, highlighting the creativity and vibrancy of our communities. 
  • Prioritise First Nations Content: Prioritise First Nations content to support self-determination and truth-telling, providing a platform for these essential stories and perspectives. 
  • Amplify Unheard Voices: Commit to sharing stories and amplifying voices that are largely unheard in mainstream media, providing a platform for underrepresented perspectives. 
  • Maintain High Production Standards: Ensure all program makers produce their content to a high standard, adhering to strong production values and meeting all deadlines consistently. 
ThThis round in particular, we are keen to hear programs that spotlight Australian music.

PROGRAM AUDIO AND SUPPORTING MATERIAL
CRN needs a copy of your program in order to assess it correctly. We prefer program makers to send us audio that can be downloaded and listened to offline. You can do this via WeTransfer, Smash, Dropbox, or Google Drive (no Mixcloud or Soundcloud links please), or by uploading your audio directly to the form. 


CRN also encourages program makers to submit any supporting material that may help us assess your program. This can include but isn't limited to, playlists, letters of support, awards or recognition, links to social media pages or other types of promotional or media coverage.
