Evaluation of PRS Foundation International Showcase Fund 2019-2024

The International Showcase Fund (ISF) offers grants for international export opportunities for UK-based artists, bands, songwriters and producers who have been invited to perform or create new music at international industry facing showcasing festivals, song writing camps or conferences. Previous recipients include Dave, Nova Twins, Kate Tempest, Glass Animals, Little Simz, Nova Twins, Sam Fender, AJ Tracey, and Wolf Alice. With barriers to mobility and trade exacerbated by Brexit and the rising costs for touring and international showcasing, the Fund plays an important role in talent development for UK music. This study follows previous TFCC-led evaluations for the PRS Foundation, including those of the Momentum Fund and Women Make Music Fund.
