Music Managers Forum, in partnership with YouTube Music, is accepting applications for the first Accelerator Programme for Music Managers (APMM), a professional development initiative for music and artist managers.

APMM consists of a year-long training and mentorship programme, with a £15,000 bursary grant and funded travel to attend courses or meetings and a music business conference. Applicants who reach Stage 2 of the application process will also receive one year’s free MMF membership. Music Managers Forum is a network of professional music managers with a membership of over 500.

Applications are invited from managers based in England and Scotland who are currently managing an artist, songwriter or producer with a track record of proven income, and who are looking to move into full-time management with their own company. 

The deadline for the first stage of applications – a five minute video about yourself and your work – is Monday 29 October. For full details, see www.themmf.net.
