These awards celebrate the individuals from all walks of life who volunteer for their music groups, giving up their time and energy to help the leisure-time music sector.
We celebrate their incredible contributions with either exceptional service to a Making Music member group, an outstanding effort to improve their environmental sustainability or the best photo taken of a leisure-time music group.
Nominations open until 6 June 2025!
This prestigious prize, a certificate signed by Making Music's patron HRH the Duchess of Kent, is presented annually to individuals from a Making Music member group who have made an outstanding contribution to music in their community.
Nominations open until 6 June 2025!
The prize is named after Lady Hilary Groves, a Vice President of Making Music and an ardent supporter of leisure-time music making in the UK.
Making Music presents awards and prizes to individual musicians, groups and organisations in both the leisure-time and professional sector.
Some of these, such as the Groves Prizes, recognise lifelong contributions to the musical life of the UK. The music awards celebrate the music creators, arrangers and innovative new music projects that leisure-time music groups are involved with.
