i received this as part of a weekly forwarded e-mail from this Islamic website, SoundVision. They do some interesting media projects. They’re probably most well-known, however, for their association with Dawud Wharnsby Ali, who has developed some nasheeds that are on their website.
This is from their ‘talent hunt’ website - they are just looking for creative talent, can be audio/visual/writing/artwork, etc. There’s a form you have to fill out accessible via the link below:

In the Sound Vision catalogue eight years ago we had a small ad requesting creative Muslim artists to submit their work. The response to that small ad introduced to the Muslims of the world a new genre of Islamic songs. That submission was the album “Whisper of Peace” by Dawud Wharnsby Ali. So, never underestimate your talent. You never know how your contributions may affect the Muslim Community. So let us know what you are good at!
Interesting, but kinda short on details? What exactly are they looking for?? (I've never heard of it!) Is it a talent contest or are they looking to hire people?
Sorry, Spoon, for the late response. It’s been on my mind to respond to this thread for days, never got around to it. i am sorry, truly all my fault.
It’s a festival they are arranging, i believe, showcasing talents from diverse Muslim personalities like Dawud Wharnsby Ali. Somewhere on their website i remember reading, they emphasized they don’t just want ‘famous’ Muslims to participate in these shows; they want anyone of any talent who has the desire to share her/his skills - whether it’s something creative like art or sculptures, etc. Basically anything creative in nature.
It’s NOT a hiring programme though. For hiring purposes, they offer a paid internship. For precise details regarding that, i would suggest contacting them via this page http://soundvision.com/feedback.asp
