These biennial awards aims to showcase and support the development of five exceptional young Northern Ireland musicians by providing funding awards, worth £5000 each, to three classical musicians, a jazz musician and a traditional Irish musician.

This financial award enables recipients to take their career to the next level by spending a sizeable amount of time learning from a master musician, mentor, teacher or composer either in Northern Ireland or abroad.  In addition to this training opportunity, recipients receive two professional radio broadcast engagements with BBC Northern Ireland, including one with the Ulster Orchestra taking place sometime between January 2017 and December 2018.
