Musicians from East Africa can apply for the 2020 Radio France International Discoveries (RFI) Discovery Music Award (Prix Découverte).

The prestigious competition is open to musicians and genres from Africa, the Indian Ocean and the Caribbean.

Submissions are open through an online application form or on the RFI website.

The winner will also tour Africa, perform at a concert in Paris, benefit from media exposure from RFI and its partners, and get airplay on the station, which could lead to time on other radios worldwide.

The prize is organised in partnership with the Institut Français, l’Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie, the Society of Authors, Composers and Publishers of Music and Ubiznews.
