MIDEM 2006: SA music labels and publishers invitation
The 2005 MIDEM event was witness to a South African national unit for the very first time when the Moshito, the Department of Arts and Culture and the French Embassy of South Africa partnership fostered a huge national presence at the world music market.
The South African Music Exports [Samex] and the Department of Arts and Culture [DAC] are organising the 2nd National South African Pavilion which will be hosted at MIDEM 2006 from the 21st to the 26th January.
South African record labels, music publishers and other key music industry operators are called to interact with one another and explore new business possibilities at MIDEM 2006, where a vast South African presence is expected. An abundantly more spacious pavilion has been dedicated to South Africa and Moshito/Samex/DAC have allocated a budget towards partial funding for a number of South African labels interested in attending MIDEM 2006 in Cannes, France.
To qualify for subsidy in full or in part on the Moshito/Samex delegation the participant must:
Be a South African citizen.
Must have at least 3 albums of material produced in 2005 that are available for export [subject to audit].
Not have attended MIDEM before.
Have some BEE credentials.
Write a letter of motivation indicating how their company would benefit from attending MIDEM.
Be able to partially fund their costs [R11 000] payable to Moshito immediately. Upon completion of a report, which must be compiled and submitted by the participant upon return to SA, the participant will receive a refund to the value of R1 000.
One (1) full bursary is available to a record label that is in compliance with the aforementioned criteria, yet is unable to partially fund their own costs. Proof of inability to partially fund your own costs needs to be submitted to the relevant contact person [Antos Stella].
Please respond with all of your information to Antos Stella at 083 400 6285 or ANTOS. The deadline for submissions is Monday the 14th November 2006 at 9am. No late applications will be considered.
