The APRA Professional Development Awards (PDAs) are now a permanent fixture on the APRA cultural calendar. As a result, APRA now offers eleven PDAs in Australia and New Zealand to promising emerging music writers in the early stages of their careers.
APRA New Zealand present three awards, recognising excellence in three compositional genres: Classical, Pop Contemporary and Film & TV. The recipients will each receive $12,000 cash to advance their careers through study or travel, plus: a Gibson guitar courtesy of Gibson Guitar Corp.
The independent PDA judging committee were impressed by the high level of exceptional applications and are very confident in the selection of the three recipients; both in terms of their individual achievements to date and also the professional development plans they had outlined. They are each exciting talents, who have immense potential for the future.
APRA NZ congratulates the 2009 Professional Development Award winners: Jessica Hansell, Grayson Gilmour & Samuel Holloway.
