Every year, WOMEX puts together a diverse programme for delegates and festival visitors alike - and we want your proposals! If you would like to perform as a showcase artist or DJ / producer, present your film or spread your knowledge as a conference speaker or expert mentor, send in your application.
The Call for Proposals for Showcases, Conference and Film 2020 is now closed. It will open again in January 2021 for WOMEX 21.
Following the Call for Proposals, the WOMEX 20 Jury is now revealed. Every year, our Jury is made up of seven international members, who will select the showcase and conference programme, plus the Club Summit Curator as well as the in-house Film Team who will curate the Film Programme. Together, they will be hand-picking the most promising and innovative ideas for our programme.
It's time to start considering the opportunities we offer to companies who want to promote themselves through WOMEX. Whether it be a banner on our website, a page in the guide book or a spot on delegate bag inserts, lanyards or wristbands, you should definitely take a look at all options and rates we offer.

Since the introduction of the WOMEX Award in 1999, the list of extraordinary artists and professionals from our community deserving of this special praise has continued to grow.

After extensive discussions with our local partner Hangvető, given the current circumstances and the latest travel restrictions announced by the Hungarian Government from 1 September 2020 - and in the best interests of our delegates and the wider community, WOMEX 20 will not be taking place on-site but will instead take place in a digital format. The details will be announced soon.
We and Hangvető make this decision with a heavy heart, as a lot of hard work has gone into the 2020 Budapest edition already. Bringing the world music community together every year is the backbone of WOMEX. However, we will find the best possible solutions to make the WOMEX 20 digital edition as exciting and valuable to the WOMEX community, including showcasing artists, conference speakers and all delegates, as possible.
