Bob Harris talks to the PRS for Music Foundation New Music Award judges and finalists in this video for Sky Arts.
David Prior, composer, said: 'I think it's a fascinating award, it works the opposite way round to other awards in that it rewards an idea before the piece has been realised.'
Vanessa Reed, Executive Director PRS for Music Foundation, said:
'The New Music Award really celebrates the exceptional talent of the most innovative music creators in the UK, by giving them an opportunity to bid for a really significant financial prize - £50,000 - which actually gives them a chance to push the boundaries of their artistic practice.'
