The main programme runs from January 2027 to May 2027, with a showcase event in October 2027.

If you are selected as an Emergent you will get:
A £1000 creative bursary to support your future goals and creative ideas.
A £500 development bursary, to support you to take part in our online creative development programme.
An opportunity to showcase your work to an audience of industry professionals at a hybrid in-person/online event in October 2027 (date to be confirmed).

3 training sessions about topics related to the music industries.
3 discussion sessions to explore creative ideas.
