Folk Music Awards - ETNOKULP
Since 2009, the Estonian Traditional Music Center has been awarding the most successful folk musicians, songs, and albums of the year with the Etnokulbid. The grand award ceremony takes place every autumn at the Folk Music Harvest Party, where folk musicians from all over Estonia gather in Viljandi.The selection of Etnokulp recipients occurs in two stages: first, a jury selects the award categories and their nominees. The laureates are then determined through a public vote. Additionally, a special award is presented each year to outstanding contributors in the field.
