What is the Opportunities Program?

The International Alliance for Women in Music (IAWM) shares selected opportunities that support women in music and are relevant to its international community. Opportunities may include composition, performance, conducting, research, education, recording, or other music disciplines. They need not be exclusively for women but must offer a clear benefit to IAWM’s community.

Organizations and individuals may submit, including ensembles, institutions, independent curators, educators, producers, and project organizers. Formal incorporation or nonprofit status is not required. Each submission must identify the organizer and a responsible person. Anyone submitting on another organizer’s behalf must be authorized to do so.

How does it work?

Simply complete our Opportunity Submission Form. The IAWM team will review your submission, and selected opportunities will be published on this webpage.

Opportunities may include:

• Calls for scores, proposals, auditions, commissions, performances, and specific collaboration projects.
• Competitions, grants, awards, scholarships, fellowships, and residencies.
• Festivals, conferences, workshops, mentorship programs, and professional development programs with a clear application or participant registration process.
• Publication, recording, broadcasting, and scholarly opportunities with a defined submission or selection process.
