The Youth Music Awards is the biggest night in grassroots music, and for the past six years we have celebrated in London. However, 86% of our funding goes outside of the capital, equalising access to music for thousands of young people across the UK. So, we know how important and culturally relevant other regions across the UK are. That's why, in 2026, the Youth Music Awards is coming to the North-West. We can't wait to join our community there to celebrate the projects and people from across the region and beyond, in one of the world's most loved music cities. The Youth Music Awards 2026 are open to anyone who has been directly funded via the NextGen Fund or has taken part in a Youth Music funded project since January 2021.
