Celebrating European Talent
Compared to Anglo-American music, the total percentage of music originating from
continental Europe is relatively small. The Music Moves Europe Talent Awards are designed
to accelerate the international careers of upcoming European artists.
Music Moves Europe
Music is one of the most popular forms of art, widely consumed, and a vibrant expression of
Europe's cultural diversity. Music Moves Europe, the overarching framework for the
European Commission’s initiatives and actions in support of the European music sector,
and Creative Europe, the EU funding programme for the culture and audiovisual sectors,
aim to help the music sector flourish by, among other things, supporting the annual
Music Moves Europe Talent Awards.
The Music Moves Europe Talent Awards are organised by ESNS and Reeperbahn Festival
in partnership with Yourope, Independent Music Companies Association (IMPALA),
International Music Managers Forum (IMMF), Liveurope, Live DMA, European Music
Exporters Exchange (EMEE), Digital Music Europe (DME) and media partner European
Broadcasting Union (EBU), with support from the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and
Science, Province of Groningen and the City of Groningen.
The awards are implemented in close cooperation with the European Commission and
financially supported by Creative Europe.
