2024 Community Stage Application Form
UK Black Pride's Community Stage is a platform where thought-provoking discussions intertwine with the performances of emerging musicians, spoken word artists, and creatives. It has quickly become a much-loved space every year for its wellbeing discussions, speakers, radical panels, insightful discussions, and acts as a space for collective discussion and information sharing.
Applications are now open for speakers, artists, musicians, poets, and those looking to share insightful workshops or panel discussions, either as an organization or as an individual.
Key dates
Applications close on Sunday, 9th June 2024 at midnight, with successful applicants contacted by Sunday, 23rd June. This year's UK Black Pride is taking place on Sunday 11th August at the Olympic Park in Stratford.
