While we’re developing the programme we encourage outstanding women and gender diverse music creators requiring support in the first half of the year to look at our Open Fund, PPL Momentum Music, Hitmaker or Composers Fund as well as our PPL Momentum Accelerator or Talent Development Network organisations in their areas of work.

Each round (i.e. Round 1, Round 2 etc.) is an opportunity to apply during the year, it is not a process that has various stages for application (i.e. you apply for the round that is best for your project). Find out how many times you can apply per calendar year here
