WE FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS
As a collective, we are stronger together. We campaign internationally to protect the rights of music creators and fight to ensure they are treated fairly.
OUR CURRENT CAMPAIGNS
MEET FELLOW CREATORS
A career as a music creator can often mean working independently, without a network of colleagues close by. Our community and networking events allow for collaboration opportunities, advice sharing and support.
WE CELEBRATE YOUR TALENT
Our two flagship awards, The Ivors and The Ivors Composer Awards are the most important awards in the industry because they are judged and awarded by respected songwriters and composers. Winning an Ivor is the highest accolade in music for creators.
