DjangodOr

The Golden Django, named after guitarist Django Reinhardt, is an award for jazz musicians in Europe. The trophy is a creation of the French painter Raymond Moretti. It was first introduced in France (in 1992), then in Belgium (1995), in Sweden and Italy (1999) and finally in Denmark (2001).

Belgian palmares

Since 1995, Belgium has had its own Golden Django ceremony. It was first proposed to reward both French-speaking and Flemish Belgian jazz musicians, but since 2000, only one musician receives the trophy, alternating French-speaking and Dutch-speaking winners each year. The next year, they introduced the new talent award. The ceremony was cancelled in 2004.

gollark: You should at least not have blank lines in it.
gollark: Well, just comprehend it.
gollark: Fourthly, why are some lines changed despite seemingly containing exactly the same things?
gollark: Secondly, why did you expand line 116 so much?
gollark: Firstly, please into testing.
