Call for entries: Collaborative album for Arab artists

The project was launched in 2017 with the support of the Arab Fund for Arts and Culture. The project has so far released three albums.

The new music album aims at showcasing works created during the COVID-19 quarantine period. 

“This situation called for opening up a greater horizon for artists around the world to test new tools that allow the continuation of the artistic experience through the only safe medium available now, the Internet,” Platform founder and CEO Emad Mabrouk said.

“I'm very happy with the large response we have already received. Even before providing links to applications, our announcement was viewed in the tens of thousands and shared abundantly by the musicians and music lovers.”

Applicants must be artists from Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Mauritania, Egypt, Sudan, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Yemen.
