Andy...... I went to a seminar last night (Tuesday), held by the local council for any parties interested in applying for one of these Awards for All grants. They had one of the area representatives to give us an idea of what could qualify or not. We actually were looking for equipment for the band rather than an event of some kind. She told us that we would almost definitely not qualify on those grounds. The things that the Awards committee are looking for is something that will push the limits of music or the band, and will benefit your local community, especially the younger members. Having a piece of music specially commissioned for your band, by a recognised composer, holding concerts, organising workshops, master classes, and other events that would involve the local schools etc. We were told that representatives from each section, the Heritage, Arts, Charities and Sports would make up the committee to decide on which applications would be successful. Our area committee was meeting shortly, and they had about 500-600 applications to go through in a day. So whatever event you choose, I think the more unique the better. The Arts council side have less money to give out than any other section, we were told that the most money is in the Charities and Heritage pots. So if your event can be covered by their criteria you stand a better chance of success. We were informed that an application stood about 50-60% chance of success. Best of luck.
