The deadline for Te Māngai Pāho‘s final music funding round of the 2019-20 financial year has been extended to March 20.

In this round, TMP is particularly interested in waiata for iwi radio targeting rangatahi audiences who request songs be in line with current popular music trends.

However, the round is also open to a wide genre of music to fund music in Te Reo Māori that reaches a cross-section of New Zealand’s diverse society.

You are encouraged to apply for funding support if:

• you have a great song that will get people singing in Te Reo Māori;
• your lyrics and performance demonstrate proficiency in Te Reo Māori;
• you can provide a demo recording of your amazing waiata.

You can apply here.
