PRS For Music is the official supporter of both Publisher Of The Year categories at The A&R Awards taking place in London on November 2.
The two categories recognise excellence in domestic UK A&R across two sets of companies, with each defined by a threshold based on the size of their copyright library.
BMG, Kobalt, Sony/ATV, Universal Music Publishing and Warner/Chappell are fighting it out in one category, while the other Publisher Of The Year gong will go to one of Bucks Music, Downtown Music Publishing, Spirit B-Unique, Good Soldier Songs, Imagem Music UK and Stellar Songs.
The awards will recognise the best music publishing team involved in active A&R across a number of specific projects over the past 12 months – judged on critical, commercial and creative success.
“The ability to nurture creative talent, to enable it to reach its full potential, is a skill that affords itself to a special few.”
Karen Buse, PRS For Music
Karen Buse, Executive Director of Membership and International, PRS for Music, said: “The ability to nurture creative talent, to enable it to reach its full potential, is a skill that affords itself to a special few.
“Through supporting both Publisher of the Year categories at the inaugural A&R Awards, we celebrate those individuals who have contributed to the discovery and development of exceptional music.”
The A&R Awards in association with Abbey Road Studios will take place on the evening of Wednesday, November 2 at the Sheraton Grand Piccadilly (‘The Park Lane Hotel’).
Platinum tables have now sold out, but there are a handful of Gold and Standard tables still available.
