Sound and Music’s Francis Chagrin Award is searching for composers looking for a ‘quick top-up’ of financial backing to get them to the next step when creating new work.
An 'easy' application process could 'lead to getting awarded on average £100 for costs associated with composing', the organisation has stated.
Richard Whitelaw, Sound and Music’s head of programmes, said: 'Sound and Music is committed to supporting the extraordinary range of practices that make up new music in the UK, and this new award aims to provide regular support towards the costs associated with the making of work.
'Whatever style you are working in, whatever background you are from, if you are struggling with the costs of composing a new work, I would urge you to consider an application.'
Francis Chagrin was the founder of the Society for the Promotion of New Music (SPNM). During his career he composed symphonies, songs, chamber music, and over 200 film scores. His music is collected in Sound and Music’s British Music Collection.
