And the nominees are…

And the nominees are…

Our committee of selection is pleased to unveil the list of the 40 authors named for the 2020 festival which will take place in Paris, at the BnF, on 2/3 and 4 October. Chosen from among 305 productions received from 30 countries, these 40 radio and sound creations were selected among the most astonishing of the moment at the international level. They are already audible online by the jury members who can listen to them now – and prepare the arguments they will exchange in front of you, on the spot and online, during the public sessions of this eagerly awaited listening feast. Attention, on 2, 3 and 4 October the entrance is free but the reservation is mandatory, because of the sanitary measures in force that limit the gauge to 100 people. Details to follow.

Congratulations to the authors and to all the participants! At the end of this great marathon of listening and public debates that we invite you to attend, five prizes will be awarded.

Radio Performance Award
Initiated in the middle of the Covid19 crisis, created thanks to the partnership of the Centre Wallonie Bruxelles (CWB), this new prize aims to reward works designed for live performamce offering a rich interaction between the antenna and the listeners.For this first edition, it has not met the echo it deserves. The context has probably undermined its launch. By mutual agreement with the CWB, we are renewing it in 2021 where it will be relaunched, in an atmosphere, we hope, more favorable.
