Booking Procedure
There are five simple steps to book an artist for your group through the Award for Young Concert Artists scheme.
Step 1: Complete the booking form and send to the AYCA Administrator at the address shown on the form.
If you don't have a copy of the booking form, please click here to download it.
We will then contact the artist you selected to see if he or she is available. If your booking is successful you will be sent two copies of a contract for the engagement, including the contact details of the artist.
Step 2: Check through the details of the booking which appear on the contract. When you are happy with the arrangements sign one copy and return it to Making Music.
From this point onwards any further correspondence about the engagement should be made directly with the artist.
Step 3: Once you have made a firm booking for a Young Concert Artist you must ensure that all of your publicity materials (programme, posters, flyers etc.) carry the Making Music logo and an acknowledgement of the scheme in the form "The Philip and Dorothy Green Award for Young Concert Artists". This must appear in conjunction with any mention of the artist's name.
Draft publicity artwork should be sent or emailed to the Awards Administrator at Making Music at least three weeks before the concert for approval before any materials are printed. Download the Making Music logo. from this website, adhering to the guidelines for use. Contact the Making Music Office for assistance.
Step 4: Your group should pay the artist a fee of £225 and an accompanist's fee (if appropriate) plus travel and accommodation on the day of the concert as per the contract for the engagement.
Step 5: Following the engagement your group is entitled to reclaim £110 towards the cost of the Young Concert Artist only. You should return the claim form (enclosed with the original agreement) along with a copy of the printed programme for the concert showing the acknowledgement of the scheme.
