Help Musicians UK and PledgeMusic UK have launched the second year of their partnership to support emerging talent across the UK.
As part of Help Musicians UK Creative Programme, a partnership was forged in 2015 with PledgeMusic UK to identify and support a diverse range of emerging artists capable of building a long-term career.
The partnership will enable emerging acts generating their own funds via PledgeMusic UK to receive a matched contribution of funds from Help Musicians UK if their campaign is successful.
The opportunity is for musicians across the whole of the UK in any genre with three new rounds in 2016/17.
All applicants must be UK-based emerging artist (individual or band) of any genre, without significant financial backing from a record label or publisher. You should be at, or approaching, a career tipping point, with a growing buzz around you, demonstrable live experience and an engaged fan base.
There will be three rounds of submission collection, artist selection and campaign launching. Eight artists will be selected each time to move forward into the Emerging Artists Fund 2016.
To apply, artists need to submit a short proposal setting out what the additional funding would enable them to do and why it would make a crucial difference to their plans. The panel will assess this alongside information about the applicant, their music and the viability of running a successful pledge campaign.
Artists can apply via emergingartistsfund.com.
Applications are now open for the second round with submissions needed by 31 March 2017.
