[Vivek Narayanan]

TOTO FUNDS THE ARTS (TFA) invites entries for its second annual award for young musicians and bands. The award, which is intended to support the advancement of your musical career, is worth Rs. 50,000 in kind.

 

BUT: If you or any of your band members (if you are a music group) are older than 30 on January 1, 2006, and do not live in India, read no further!

 

ALSO:  The spirit of the Toto Awards is to identify promise and encourage young talent. Therefore, do not submit an entry if you are already a known name.

 

TFA is looking for entries in all types of music and from all parts of India. The list of genres extends from rock, jazz, heavy metal, trance, house, instrumental, folk – to the as yet unimagined. Entries should adequately represent the musician/band’s range of music.

 

The submissions should be 100% original. Use of samples and remixes is not permitted. Cover versions will not be accepted.

 

Entries should be sent as three CD copies of the music. The entries should reach TOTO FUNDS THE ARTS (TFA) before November 10, 2005.
