About the opportunity
We have funding, mentoring and workshops available to back ten people, aged between 18 and 25, to put on a live music event in the Bradford area. All you need is the passion to try, no experience necessary.
Maybe you love a type of music and you’d like to see it live in a venue near you, or perhaps you think there should be more gigs for under-18s, or it might be that you wish you could see some of the artists you follow online play in real life. Well, you could make this happen with the support of our team and the Youth Music Incubator Fund.
The offer:
£1000 to pay for your time working on the project
£1000 budget to pay for the event costs
Two group workshops to learn from industry professional
Links with other successful applicants for peer support
Support from start to end from our team who have years of experience working in events

How to apply
If you are between 18 and 25 and live in the Bradford District then click the “Apply now” button below to fill out the form. We ask a few questions about yourself (or your group if you plan to complete the project with other people) and your ambitions for putting on a live music event. There are no right or wrong answers, we just want to get a sense of you and what you would like to do so that we can fairly make a decision on who will most benefit from this opportunity.
Applications now closed.
When the deadline has passed, we will share the applications with an initial panel of music industry people (press, record labels, musicians, DJs etc.) for assessment and scoring. These scores provide us with application rankings ready for our final selection panel. This panel then select applicants to support based on their ranking and overall suitability for the support.
Once this has happened we'll drop you an email to let you know if your application was successful or not. This process will take around 6 - 8 weeks.
