In partnership with the Association of Independent Music Companies (VUT) the Reeperbahn Festival will be part of the innovative Keychange project. Under the leadership of PRS Foundation, the international network prioritizes to set a statement against the underpresentation of women in the music industry.
In order to support the female voice, the scholarship holders are offered to do international shows, showcases and opportunities for networking in order to establish themselves in the men-dominated market. In addition, the protagonists will receive a € 30,000 sponsorship of innovation.

Together with the Great Escape, Iceland Airwaves, Tallinn Music Week, BIME (Bilbao), Way out West (Göteborg), Musikcentrum Sweden und Mutek (Montreal) 60 protagonists from music culture and music business will be picked to be part of the Keychange programme.

Nominations can be submitted until 19.07.2017 via this link.
