Just A Band nominated for the Prix Ars Electronics awards!

We kick off this brand new week with a special announcement! We are very pleased to inform you about the great news that Just A Band is nominated for the Pix Ars Electronica awards in the category Digital Communities. Immediatly after we heard the news we reached out to Just A Band for a personal reaction:

"We are very humbled to be nominated for the Prix Ars. When you’re neck-deep in projects, you aren’t thinking of awards and things, so getting recognized for your efforts is always a pleasant surprise. It helps give you a little extra encouragement when you’re taking on your next project. We hope that the nomination will get a few more people interested in the band, and that when they look us up online they’ll find our Africa Unsigned page, because that offers them a unique way to interact with the band.
"Congratulations to the rest of the nominees, and we look forward to seeing where this goes…"

The Band.
