The Ivors Academy Honours celebrates the trailblazers, innovators and advocates who champion songwriters and composers.
Continuing the legacy of the Gold Badge Awards, founded in 1974, The Ivors Academy Honours pay tribute to those making a lasting impact to support a thriving songwriter and composer community.
Past winners include multi award-winning songwriter and campaigner Carla Marie Williams MBE, politician Kevin Brennan, producer and innovator Rupert Hine, Glastonbury Festival founder Michael Eavis CBE, activist and singer-songwriter Bob Geldof, Elbow frontman Guy Garvey and broadcasters Trevor Nelson MBE and Jo Wiley.
Guests will enjoy a drinks reception, a three-course dinner and an exclusive awards ceremony at the InterContinental London Park Lane in Mayfair.
The event will bring together 500 guests, including acclaimed songwriters and composers, music industry leaders and members of The Ivors Academy.
Roberto Neri, CEO of The Ivors Academy, said, “Songwriters and composers create the music we all love, yet their contributions are often undervalued. They deserve a fairer, more respectful and supportive environment to thrive. The Ivors Academy Honours shines a light on individuals who make a lasting, positive impact on music creators’ lives and careers. I’m pleased to announce this new, dedicated awards ceremony as a powerful way to champion their impact and influence.”
