François-Marcaurelle Award

In honor of François Marcaurelle, co-founder of The OFF JAZZ and with the collaboration of the Guilde des musiciens et des musiciennes du Québec, we will reward a musician or a band who has particularly distinguished himself during the festival, with the François-Marcaurelle  / GMMQ Award. This prize includes a $750 grant and an invitation to play at one of L’OFF JAZZ next editions.
