The Music Producers Guild (MPG) has opened submissions for its 2019 Awards and is calling on all recording professionals, their management and the public to submit their recommendations.

This year’s window for submissions is open until 15 September across a number of categories including UK Producer of the Year, Breakthrough Producer of the Year and Self-Producing Artist of the Year. The full list of categories is listed below.

Anyone can submit a name and once they’re all in and checked for eligibility, they will be presented to a music industry judging panel.

Submit your suggestions here - http://www.mpg.org.uk/mpg-awards/mpg-awards-submissions-2019/.

Tony Platt, managing director of the MPG Awards, said: ‘The MPG has worked tirelessly to raise the status of the UK’s highly skilled recording professionals and our Awards, which over 10 years have built up an integrity respected throughout the production community, are hugely important in championing their creativity and talent.

‘Submissions have increased every year, as have the number of musical genres represented, but there is always room for more. The MPG would like to encourage as many people as possible to take part – both in the submissions process and as voting Full Members - so that we have a truly diverse range of recording professionals in with a chance of winning.’

The 2019 MPG Awards will take place on 28 February 2019 at Grosvenor House, Park Lane, London.
