"12 Points has placed Dublin at the centre of European jazz. It is now the place to check out the very best emerging young talent from across the continent. " Jazzwise

In 2010, 12 Points!, the critically acclaimed festival and showcase for emerging European jazz talent, will be leaving its Dublin base of the last three years.

In alternate years, the festival will be  hosted  by a partner city,  making new networks of  musical exchange  between Dublin and other  centres of creativty from all points on the European map.

The first of these is Stavanger and we look forward to seeing you in beautiful Western Norway for four days of music making  that reflects all the creativity, vitality and diversity in European jazz today.

If you are an ensemble or solo artist in your mid 20s to early  30s and would  like to be considered for the festival programme,  we are now taking  online submissions for the 2010 edition. Click HERE to apply!
