The purpose of this call for proposals is to select and support a consortium in organising and administering the European Union Prize for popular and contemporary music, the Music Moves Europe Awards for the period 2024-2027 (editions 2025, 2026, 2027 and 2028 of the Prize). The Music Moves Europe Awards are one of the special actions implemented under the Culture strand of the Creative Europe programme, the EU programme dedicated to cultural and creative sectors.

In line with the general objective of the Creative Europe programme, this EU prize wants to highlight and promote the richness of the European repertoire and the diversity of its music landscape. It aims at celebrating and supporting young emerging talents at the beginning of their international career. The winners of the prizes will be from countries participating in the Culture strand of the Creative Europe programme.
