MSIL, a premier marketing house, has launched the MSIL Nityothsava awards to spot singing talent in Kannada sugama sangeeta. The contest is held live for students in Karnataka, and recorded for students outside Karnataka.

The contest is open to students all over the world. Students abroad, and outside Karnataka, can enter the recorded music contest by sending an audio cassette of any two songs. One winner from among them will be flown down to Bangalore for the awards ceremony in November 2000.

Rules for contestants outside Karnataka:
