Youth Music

The Youth Music Awards celebrate the most forward-thinking people and projects shaping the future of music.

Judged by leading industry figures, the awards are open to Youth Music NextGen Fund recipients and those who’ve taken part in a Youth Music-funded project in the last five years.

By recognising and amplifying diverse talent, we’re making the music industries more accessible, inclusive, and representative.
