Music News - NZ On Air funding news and March results
12 March 2011 - 0 Comments
NZ On Air has awarded the final grants for two of its music funding schemes – the New Recording Artist and album funding - to prepare for a new music funding scheme to be launched mid-year.
The new scheme, which follows Chris Caddick’s independent review into NZ On Air’s music funding released in December 2010, is expected to be announced in May, once details are finalised. It will be launched 01 July, 2011.
NZ On Air Chief Executive Jane Wrightson said both the album funding scheme and the New Recording Artist funding scheme were closed earlier than planned to allow NZ On Air to channel funding and staff resources into its new programme.
“The last album funding allocations were made this month and there will be no June funding round,” said Ms Wrightson. “This will enable us to divert the funds that we would have spent on albums into the new scheme and boost the budget for the new year.”
“We have also funded ten songs, rather than five, under the New Recording Artist scheme in the March funding round. We had 332 applications and were able to fill all the New Recording Artist project slots now, so the NZ music team can focus on the rolling out the new scheme. This means we will not be accepting applications for the New Recording Artist scheme in June. We’ve now made 23 grants for this financial year from this scheme.”
NZ On Air will continue its Music Video funding round in June and the closing date for Music Video applications (21 April for decisions on 02 June) still applies. Details of the new scheme are expected to be announced in May.
