Tips and tricks

After nine years of organizing the MIMAs, we’ve learned a few things, and we’re here to share our insights with you. Take time to refine, revisit, and focus on the details — these steps can make all the difference!

Submitting your work is quite a task. Don’t underestimate it. Make sure to take your time, set your phone to aeroplane mode and focus!
While you are at it: check, check and double-check. We’ve seen too many times that people skip or forget some fields.
Tell your supporters, coworkers, producers, writers, and whoever worked with you, that you are submitting your work.
And don’t be shy! We know music can speak for itself, but the jury is also interested in you! Tell your creative process, and take us along on your journey!
That also includes a short deadline, maybe a little to no budget, and a big or a small team. Don’t let out these details, they give your story extra power!
Your application needs to be as personal as it gets. Feel free to share your unique preferences and let your very own style shine through.

And the best tip of all? Don’t hesitate to contact BMIM team. We would love to help you with your submission to MIMA’s 2025!
