The Music Growth Export Scheme has reopened and is offering small and medium sized businesses between £5,000 and £50,000 to help promote UK acts overseas.

The scheme, which is delivered through the government’s Exporting is GREAT campaign and operated through the BPI, is open for applications from 10am today (10 October).

It’s available to UK-registered independent music companies to assist them with marketing campaigns when looking to introduce successful UK music projects overseas.

Applicants must complete the form on the BPI website and sent to musicexportscheme@bpi.co.uk before 6pm on Monday 7 November 2016.

Submissions will be reviewed by the BPI and UK Trade & Investment, and those shortlisted will be considered by a panel of music industry experts, chaired by John Kennedy OBE.

The panel will draw on the marketing expertise of a number of organisations including the Music Managers Forum (MMF), the Featured Artists Coalition (FAC) and the Association of Independent Music (AIM), as well as representatives of independent record labels and the BPI.
