The 2023 APRA Professional Development Awards are now open for applications.

The award exists to provide support to songwriters and composers in their creative development.

Five awards will be given out, with each recipient receiving a $10,000 cash prize. It is expected that the funds will help recipients attend workshops, music education courses, composer seminars, co-writing sessions, mentoring opportunities and other relevant activities – locally or internationally.

2022 recipients were Gabriel Everett, Jessie Leov, Joel Tashkoff, Katie Sharp, Tali Jenkinson, and William Philipson. 

The deadline is July 4.
