EDM Maniac has officially opened the gates to Maniac Academy, a new program empowering content and media wizards to share the magic of dance music with the world.
This year-long opportunity beckons a new generation of bold and gifted visionaries from across the global rave realm to collaborate with fellow Maniac sorcerers and use their talents in the media and content arts to leave a lasting mark on the enchanting world of electronic music.
Masters of the captured moment (photographers), keepers of moving magic (content creators), sorcerers of illusions (graphics wizards), word-weaving spellcasters (writers), meme-ologists, and other bewitching storytellers of all levels are invited to answer the call. Unsure where you fall? Apply as a student and unlock your full magical potential.
Those destined to ascend into the sacred ranks of our masterful media witches and wizards will awaken their power, conjuring spellbinding content to captivate EDM Maniac’s vast realm of ravers. With every festival they step into—at least three throughout the year—they will cast their influence across the scene, reporting from the front lines of the music’s most electrifying moments.
This enchanted path will unlock the ability to summon exclusive interviews and create mesmerizing content with beloved artists, festivals, and brands; weave dream collaborations into existence across one of our six (and ever-expanding!) media dimensions; and forge unbreakable bonds with industry sorcerers from every corner of the world.
The portal is open, the magic is calling—will you embrace your destiny and wield the power of dance music’s most mystical storytellers?
