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

Working closely with our Partnerships Team, you’ll help to make sure the event runs smoothly, from setting up the venue and working backstage to taking care of guests. This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to work in the live music industry sector.

We’re looking for a highly organised, enthusiastic and versatile individual who can remain calm under pressure, deal with multiple tasks and think on their feet. We’re looking for someone with a friendly personality who can welcome our guests and represent Youth Music.

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.
