The Dundee Musicians' Award Scheme is run by Dundee City Council Leisure & Communities Department. The Scheme was established in 2008 to support the work of outstanding Dundee-based musicians by awarding grants towards the costs involved in creating new work in any genre, research and professional development.
We are also interested in supporting projects that looked at creative development through collaborations, working with new partners, or new producers. There does not have to be a recording or gig at the end of the process: the creative process is valid enough. We want to support applications that will stimulate fresh and innovative work, and to give musicians time to experiment and explore. You can also apply to attend industry showcases or network events.
We hope that the Scheme will encourage musicians to stay in the City and that the existence of the Scheme will raise the profile of Dundee-based musicians at a local, national and even international level.
Grants up to a maximum of £1000 are available and there is one deadline for applications each year.
The deadline for 2010 applications is: Monday 3 May.
