Les Voix de l´Ocean Indien (commonly abbreviated as a Voice) is a television musical award show and competition.[1] The program focuses on the musical scene of several countries located in the Indian Ocean: Seychelles, Comoros, Madagascar, Mauritius, as well as the two French overseas departments of Mayotte and Réunion.[2] The competition is organized by the Voix de l'océan Indien Association and Organizo productions.[3] It takes place in Saint-Denis, Réunion.[4]

Artists are nominated by the public[2] for a given calendar year. A selection committee then narrows down that pool of candidates to a manageable number for an election, conducted by the final board. This process is fairly transparent.[5]
