The Ivors Academy is the leading organisation for songwriters and composers. As a not-for-profit organisation, we exist to protect their rights, empower their careers and celebrate their craft.

We campaign and advocate internationally to ensure songwriters and composers are recognised, respected and fairly rewarded for their work.

Since 1956, we have presented the Ivor Novello Awards, honouring excellence in songwriting and composition. Regarded as the most prestigious awards for music creators, they are presented at The Ivors and The Ivors Composer Awards.

Through The Ivors Academy Honours, we recognise those championing songwriters and composers and driving positive change across the music industry.

We also deliver writing camps, full-day summits and a year-round programme of events that connect, support and inspire our members.
