Prix Constantin
{{unreferenced, date=February 2011 The Prix Constantin is an annual French music prize awarded to the best album of an artist who has come to prominence during the course of the past year.

Its basic purpose is to help newer artists who are not very popular to gain publicity.

The winner is decided by a jury, headed by a musician, which contains representatives from the press, radio, television and record stores. The Prix Constantin is named after the record industry figure Philippe Constantin, who died in 1996. Winners and nomi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
