About the Youth Music Awards

The Youth Music Awards in association with Hal Leonard Europe represents the future of music. It celebrates the most forward-thinking projects and people making, learning and earning in music.

From artists and entrepreneurs to grassroots projects and young leaders, the event recognises an exciting range of trailblazers from across the scene. 

The awards are open to anyone who has been directly funded via the NextGen Fund or has taken part in a Youth Music funded project since January 2017.

Who we're looking for

The Youth Music Awards is our flagship event, full of exciting, inspiring and unexpected moments. You’ll have some experience bringing events like this to life through engaging photography.

Working closely with our Communications Team and agency partners, you’ll be our eyes and ears on the ground, both backstage and amongst the audience. As well as delivering on a pre-agreed shot list, you’ll be constantly on the lookout for unexpected moments, then co-ordinating with team members and guests to bring them to life.

Youth Music aims to support young people in the early stages of developing creative careers, therefore we would particularly like to encourage applications from those aged 25 or under.

We value all kinds of experience and want to engage people from a variety of backgrounds. We are keen to diversify our team and are currently underrepresented by Disabled and neurodivergent people, people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds, and members of the LGBTQ+ community.
