In further demonstrating its dedication to developing locally produced music around the world, the Independent Music Exporters South Africa (IMEXSA) is inviting entries from independent emerging exporters and artists to be showcased at the most significant music market and trade show in the world, WOMEX 2012 taking place in Greece from 17 to 21 October 2012.
WOMEX 2012 is described as one of the most important trade shows globally and by submitting their entries, South African emerging artists and independent music companies ensure that they are standing themselves in good stead for their musical products to be effectively promoted at a festival that has the potential to kick-start their careers on an international level.
As in previous years, IMEXSA will continue to ensure that developing exporters and musical professionals benefit from the international expertise offered by influential industry players such as record labels, publishers and established artists at WOMEX 2012.
IMEXSA is a non-profit organisation whose core aim is to assist emerging and independent South African musicians to maximise on the international market by creating opportunities, promoting professional exchanges and to increase the number of South African exporters.
IMEXSA has, in partnership with the Department of Trade and Industry, conceptualised the Independent Music Exporters Development Programme that is designed to equip small and medium enterprises with crucial skills and knowledge to enhance their export capabilities and to expand their businesses internationally.
Artists and independent music companies have until 30 April to submit their entries online at www.imexsa.org.za.
