Dear WOMEXicans,

WOMEX '10 JURY: 2 + 5 SAMURAI
Every year WOMEX invites a Jury made up of a new generation of world music passionates. The Jury members – also known as the 7 Samurai – work on the Showcase and Conference selection. In 2010 for the first time the WOMEX Jury is split up into two fields of responsibility: Two Samurai are primarily in charge of the Conference programming – the other five are asked to shape the Showcase Festival.
Conference
- Ariane Guaita (France/Germany)
- Juan Paz (Colombia/UK)
- Peter Hvalkof (Denmark)
- Melita Jurkota (Croatia)
- Paulo André Moraes Pires (Brazil)
- Corinne Serres (France)
- Diego Siegelwachs (Argentina/Germany)
Film proposals are independently juried by the IMZ International, Music + Media Centre in Vienna
Please help us publicise the call for proposals for Showcase, Conference and Film Screenings, the deadline of which is Friday, 16 April 2010. And, if you have a proposal of your own, here are all the submission forms, tips on how to propose, even a handy FAQ section on our online showcase proposal process:

TALLINN MUSIC WEEK (ADVERTISMENT)
Tallinn Music Week 2010: 25-27th March
Tallinn Music Week is a showcase festival and a music industry networking event that started out in 2009, a year that was declared the Year of Innovation in Estonia. Having partnered up with the foundation Tallinn 2011 (Tallinn will be the European Culture Capital in 2011!) and the country's very own brain child Skype, it is a music export platform for Estonian and the neighbouring countries' talent, as well as a tool to encourage professionalism and growth of our region's music business. Tallinn Music Week welcomes around 100 international delegates to the festival each year, to build professional contacts with local industry and get acquainted with the local artists and music scene.
At this year's festival we will present a line-up of close to 90 bands and artists, so it is a perfect week to visit early spring-time Tallinn during a weekend full of fantastic music in the best venues for the most demanding tastes: from world music and jazz to punk and electro and anything in between.
