International Showcase Fund (ISF) (Rolling Deadlines)
International Showcase Fund
The International Showcase Fund (ISF) offers grants of up to £8,250 for international export opportunities for UK-based artists, bands, songwriters and producers who have been invited to perform or create new music at international industry facing showcase festivals and song writing camps.
Previous recipients include Dave, Nova Twins, Kae Tempest, Glass Animals, Little Simz, Nova Twins, Sam Fender, AJ Tracey, and Wolf Alice.
In order to be eligible for support music creators must have been formally invited to perform or participate in an international event, with a conference element, that is geared towards music industry professionals, rather than the general public or an international songwriting camp which is geared towards international collaboration and creative and career progression.
