Lynsey de Paul Prize deadline

August 2, 2016

The Lynsey de Paul Prize is an opportunity for emerging female singer-songwriters, set up in collaboration with the PRS for Music Members Benevolent Fund, in memory of Lynsey de Paul, who sadly passed away in 2014.

Lynsey was an award-winning songwriter, producer and presenter who helped pave the way for other women writers in music. Lynsey was the first female songwriter to win an Ivor Novello Award, composed 12 top twenty hit records, and achieved success in a business dominated by male songwriters. As a writer and musician, PRS director, and trustee of the PRS for Music Members Benevolent Fund, Lynsey was aware of the challenges women face in the music industry.

In line with Lynsey’s commitment to supporting young women songwriters and musicians, £2000 plus mentoring will be available for the Prize winner, and £500 each for two runners up, to help them take the next step in their careers.
