Individuals, groups, organisations, consortia - working in any genre and artistic context within the music industry are being invited to apply for the New Music Award. This is a £50,000 prize organised by the PRS Foundation for New Music. The purpose of the award is to inspire and stimulate the creation of an imaginative and original piece of new British music. The New Music Award challenges the UK's creative music community to extend the boundaries of its work. The award is not a cash reward for the winner’s existing work but will, in effect, provide £50,000 towards the creation and performance of a piece of new British music. The deadline for applications is the 2nd November 2007.
