Eligibility
This prize is open to applications from emerging women songwriters, based in the UK, who show great musical ability and promise.
- Applicants must have some experience of writing/producing music for an audience, e.g. have published tracks on soundcloud, played live, etc.
- They must present a clear case as to what they would do with the grant and how it would benefit their development
- Applicants should not have management, label representation, publishing or other business relationships in place at the time of application.
- They will prioritise music creators who sing and write lyrics and are therefore unlikely to support instrumentalists
- This programme is not open to those who have previously received PRS for Music Foundation funding.
