How to enter

Youth Music is working towards a musically inclusive England. We want to work together with other organisations to break down barriers to music-making, ensuring all children and young people get a chance to take part. Take a look at our guide to Musical Inclusion to learn more.

To enter the draw, all you need to do is provide a top tip, piece of advice or link to a useful article on the web about inclusive music-making. Just post your entry in the comments below.

The competition closes on Thursday 21 May.

(If you post links in your comment, don't worry that they're not clickable: we will edit them so that they are afterwards)

We will pick two winners at random from all the entries: one will receive prize bundle A, and the other will receive prize bundle B. We will contact the winners by email through the Youth Music Network: please don't post your contact details.

At the end of the competition we will collate the responses and turn these into a new resource available to all on the Youth Music Network. If you have any questions, please email network@youthmusic.org.uk.

Thanks to Dawsons Music for their generosity.

The project aimed to provide music-making opportunities for young people from BAME, refugee, asylum seeker and wider communities; to use music making to address issues around community cohesion and social integration; and to further develop the skills of local music leaders to meet the demands of culturally diverse communities.
