27 artists and bands from 9 countries of Central & Southeastern Europe will be participating in the initial phase of HMA 2021, earning activities which will help them evaluate their capacity to access new territories.
The package for each of the nominees includes accreditations to attend European showcase festivals and conferences, business assessment made by Export Offices, training sessions, and media coverage.
From a total of 285 exceptional European artists from a wide musical range, the international jury had the difficult task to select only 27 of them (3 artists per country) who met the criteria to the fullest extent. However, only 9 of these nominees (1 per country) will pass to the second phase of HMA, earning personalized support, advanced training and networking, until the third and last phase of HMA 2021, in which 3 winners will earn the prize package that covers costs for content creation, promo campaigns, participation to selected music conferences, and all expenses for touring to international Festivals and showcase events, a total prize value of € 6,000 per winner!
