Representing the future of music

The fifth annual Youth Music Awards in association with Hal Leonard Europe, took place on Wednesday 16 Oct 2024 at Troxy, London.

The Youth Music Awards 2024, in association with Hal Leonard Europe, celebrated the most forward-thinking projects and people making, learning and earning in music. From artists and entrepreneurs to grassroots projects and young leaders, the event recognised an exciting range of trailblazers from across the scene.

An incredible line-up of music industry figures made up this year’s judging panel, including Eve, Amelia Dimoldenberg, BICEP, Gilles Peterson MBE, Jordan Stephens, MNEK and Nova Twins.

This year, we celebrated 25 years of Youth Music. That’s 25 years of breaking down barriers to opportunity, so that every young person can access music.

The Youth Music Awards are open to Youth Music NextGen Fund recipients or anyone who has taken part in a Youth Music funded project since January 2018.
