If you are a musician from India under the age of 30, and have a soundcloud page (doesn’t take much to create one, if you don’t have it), then here is a chance to win Rs. 60,000! Toto Music Awards, given away by Toto Funds the Arts, have started inviting entries for their 2018 winner. The application (which can be found here) need to go in before the 20th of August. The award is judged by an external jury which has in the past included people like Vishal Dadlani, Luke Kenny, Suman Sridhar, Gowri Jayakumar etc. The award, which was instituted in 2005, has acted as the launch pad for musicians such as Demonic Resurrection (winners – 2006), Lounge Piranha (winners – 2007), Shefali Alvares (winner – 2008) etc. The 2017 award was won by the Bangalore act Disco Puppet.
