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. It was inaugurated in 2002, following the example of the Mercury Music Prize, as an attempt to bring to light artists who have not had major media coverage ("the talents of today and tomorrow"). It is therefore open to individuals or groups who have not yet had a gold album, with the exception of the nominated album. Its basic purpose is to help newer artists who are not very popular to gain publicity. All albums produced in France in the past year are admissible, without restriction on the nationality or language of expression of the artist. 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] |
