There are a few new things for 2025! Firstly, we’ve got a brand new look! After ten years we decided it was time for a lick of paint for the Production Music Awards. We hope you like the new website and branding. We think it’s pretty neat.

We’ve finally added a category for Composer to enter! It’s something that has been requested every year for as long as we can remember, so finally we’ve added a new category recognising emerging production music composers:

The Production Music Awards Spotlight Award

Composers can enter this category themselves. Entries are judges by experts at production music libraries, and winners will recieve free tickets to the award ceremony in November. Find out more here.

You can find a full break down of what’s new here.

Production music libraries

Any music library who’s work is registered with a performing rights organisation (such as PRS for Music) is eligible to enter the awards. Any music library with non PRO affiliated works in their catalogue will not be eligible to enter the awards.

Composers

We have a new category open to Composers in 2025! Find out more by clicking the ‘Enter as a Composer’ tab above.

A standard entry into the Production Music Awards costs £155. Despite rising costs for the event we’re happy to confirm that we’re keeping our prices consistent with 2024. 

Work may only be entered by the production music library (or sub–publisher) that owns the rights to the work.

Music submitted into Composition categories must have first been published by the library during the last three years. All music submitted into Sync categories must have been licensed into a production during the previous two years.

The deadline for entries is the 25th July 2025. Nominations will be announced on the 24th September 2025. The Production Music Awards Ceremony takes place on the 14th November 2025.

Judges are carefully selected from across the broader music and sync industries. We’re proud of our distinguished jury of industry professionals, who each have experience and knowledge in the field of placing music to picture. Judges mark entries without any identifying information in order to maintain fairness and avoid any conflict of interest.

Absolutely! We pride ourselves on the fairness and transparency of our judging process. Each entry is presented blind to our judges, meaning they have no information on the work or publisher.

We also place a limit (two submissions) per category to offer each entrant the same opportunity irrespective of budget.

Feel free to get in touch here.
