The Ocean Communities Climate Challenge is a new competition to find promising ideas that may only be a ripple in an innovator or entrepreneur’s mind. The Ocean Startup Project and its partners want to transform strong ideas into massively scalable companies that will improve the health of our oceans and help solve some of the most pressing climate challenges.

As part of our Igniting Creativity in Arts & Music Series, Ignite and Music Nova Scotia have teamed up to offer this event – “How To Showcase” – a Music Nova Scotia Primer. If you’re a young performer you will learn how to get the most out of conferences and showcases – from making the decision to attend to the best way to showcase your music. Music Nova Scotia will also be giving a primer on what the organization can do for you, from offering a “Basic Training” program to help artists and aspiring music industry professionals develop their skills and knowledge, to helping with opportunities in music entrepreneurship.
