We’re heading back to the UK, India, Nigeria, and Taiwan for our second year.

And we’re launching in Germany for the first time!

We're offering £10,000 to help bring an ambitious creative project from each country to life.

Alongside funding, we’ll spotlight each of the 5 selected communities through a series of films, events and radio broadcasts.

Last year we helped set up a radio station in Miami, press new records in Lagos, launch a jazz festival in Taipei, programme a new venue in Sheffield and transport a hand-built Jamaican-style sound system across India.

From DIY venues and club nights to record shops and radio stations – we’re looking for the spaces where people connect, create and discover music.
