Dundee Musicians' Award

The Dundee Musicians' Award is staged by Leisure & Culture Dundee. The Award 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.

Awards of £500 to a maximum of £1000 are available.

We are also interested in supporting projects that looks 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.

The successful applicants will have 12 months to develop and progress their creative practice from the date of the award.

We hope that the Award will encourage musicians to stay in the City and that the existence of the Award will raise the profile of Dundee-based musicians at a local, national and even international level.
