The Ivors celebrate, honour and reward excellence in British and Irish songwriting and composing. The Call for Entries is now open. BASCA invites eligible entries in the following six categories: Best Song Musically and Lyrically Best Contemporary Song Album Award Best Original Film Score Best Television Soundtrack Anyone can enter an eligible work and the deadline is Friday 9th February 2018. Crispin Hunt, BASCA Chair, said“The last year has seen myriad ground-breaking musical releases from across myriad ground-breaking musical genres and each and every one deserves a shot at winning an Ivor. I strongly encourage the Industry and beyond to enter the works they love. The Ivors is, as ever, about Music judged by its fellow creators —if a work deserves to win, it can. Whether it was released from a global powerhouse or a bedroom matters not, whether it nourishes and moves the listener matters a lot. BASCA looks forward to a rich and diverse array of works from across the musical curve to help make 2018 another legendary Ivor Novello Awards.” December 19, 2017 6:00am ET by The Ivors Academy |
