Svetozár Stračina Grand Prix

First held in 2003, the Svetozár Stračina Grand Prix Competition is an international biennial competition open to folk music recordings entered and produced by EBU Members and Associates.

The aim of the Competition is to promote the creation of traditional and arranged folk music recordings and stimulate international exchanges of folk music. It is organized every two years by Radio and Television Slovakia (RTVS).
