Jury
The 7 Samurai
As every year, WOMEX invited seven well-respected members of the WOMEX network to join the WOMEX Jury.
They always represent a mixture of people and regions and musical tastes. The Jury - we like to call them the 7 Samurai - is working on the selection of the Showcase artists and consulted on the Conference Sessions.
Film proposals are independently juried by the IMZ International Music + Media Centre, Vienna.
