BACS remind soundtrack composers to enter The Ivors
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 8 January 2009
Organisers of the Ivor Novello Awards for composers and songwriters are calling for any musical types involved in creating original music for movies to make sure they put themselves forward for this year’s awards.
The British Academy Of Composers And Songwriters say that, because of the long timescales of a movie project, some composers forget to submit their entries – which need to go in for the year the movie was released rather than the year when the music was composed.
Entries are currently being accepted for movies released in the UK in 2008 ready for the 2009 awards. British or Irish composers who make up a least one-third of the team behind a composition are eligible.
If that’s you, well get thee to www.britishacademy.com where you’ll find a full list of eligible movies and details of how to enter.
