GIT Award announces new Ones To Watch prize
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 28 January 2014
Liverpool’s GIT Award, which annually selects the best release by a Merseyside artist, has announced a new Ones To Watch prize for 2014.
The new award will recognise a new artist who shows potential for future success, giving them free studio time at Parr Street Studios, mentoring from Merseyside Arts Foundation, and a slot on the line-up for the Liverpool International Music Festival.
Peter Shilton (not that one) from Merseyside Arts Foundation told CMU: “We are delighted to support the GIT Award’s 2014 One To Watch prize. As part of our current music development programme we are working with twelve of Merseyside’s best young bands and solo artists with the support of Youth Music, the leading UK charity for providing young people with life changing opportunities in music”.
The winner will be announced alongside the main GIT Award recipient on 11 Apr at the Kazimier venue in Liverpool. The 31 Jan deadline for entries for the main prize is looming, so any artists thinking of entering should send four tracks to [email protected] pretty much right now.
