NZ On Air will fund 25 new songs in the latest New Music Single funding round.
The 25 songs were selected from a very large field of 176 applications in this second round of the New Music funding scheme from NZ On Air.
New Music Single grants are up to $8,000 per song to go towards a combination of recording costs, music video production and promotion of the song to help it connect with the audience. Applicants are required to co-invest a minimum of $2,000.
The New Music Single decisions are based on the broadcast, music and audience merits of the songs that have been submitted, judged by a panel of broadcasting and music professionals.
