Is there any advantage in applying to the first or second deadline? Can a company reapply to the second deadline if their application to the first deadline was not approved for funding?
OMIF - Music Futures
Applicants are encouraged to apply to the deadline they believe best aligns with their activity timelines.
Music promoters and presenters (including festivals) MUST apply to the second deadline only in order to be eligible (applications from music promoters and presenters submitted for the first deadline will not be accepted).
Eligible record labels, music publishers, and music management companies that were not approved at the first application intake may submit an application to the second application intake.
