For an individual music leader who inspires young people in music through their actions, creativity, determination, positivity, energy, selflessness or ability to overcome challenges.
This award is for music leaders aged over 25. If the music leader is aged 25 or under, please nominate them for the Young Leader Award instead. There's no need to nominate the same person multiple times - the shortlist is chosen on the content of nominations rather than the number.
