The Composers, Authors and Publishers Association (CAPASSO) is calling on its members to submit applications for COVID-19 relief funding.

The funding is targeted at members who are in dire need. According to the collective management organisation (CMO), the relief funding will take into account that many composers and authors have suffered from a delayed effect of COVID-19 and the resultant lockdown.

The fifth edition of Digital Lab Africa, the first mentorship and incubation program for African creatives in innovative and digital content, has launched its next call for applications. DLA is calling on artists, producers, designers, collectives, students or entrepreneurs from both creative and cultural industries, including from across Sub-Saharan Africa to apply.
