Do you write and sing in Inuktut? Do you want your song to be part of Nunavut’s cultural heritage? Submit your song to Qilaut 2018, Nunavut’s annual Inuktut songwriting contest.
This year’s theme is "Nunavutaaqsimaliqtilluta". Your song must be original, and can be traditional, gospel, rock, jazz, mix or rap. You can submit as an individual, as a duo or as a band. The contest is open to all Nunavummiut.
You can win big! There is a total of $13,000 in cash prizes and if your song is selected, it will be recorded in a studio and added to the Qilaut 2018 CD. The winners will also be invited to perform their songs at a CD launch concert.
