Announcing the Tony Pool Inspiration Award 2021 – Nominations Now Open!

0 shares

The MPA is pleased to announce that nominations are now open for the Tony Pool Inspiration Award 2021!
The Award recognises and celebrates the achievements of those who have shown an outstanding contribution to the administrative areas of the music publishing industry.

The award is in memory of the late Tony Pool who sadly passed away in 2016. Tony spent most of his working life with Boosey & Hawkes, eventually becoming Head of Business Affairs.
He was a firm advocate of copyright reform and made a significant contribution to political discussions in the UK and Europe. He also paved the way for the creation of British Music Rights.

As Tony was a fierce supporter of the “engine room” teams that keep publishers going, the MPA feels that this award is a fitting way to honour his legacy.

Who Is It For & How To Nominate

Nominees should display an outstanding work ethic and dedication to the music publishing industry either through their achievements, a particular project or overall business impact. Nominees should be actively working in administration for a music publisher.

MPA Publisher Members are invited to nominate friends or colleagues who they feel have made an outstanding contribution to the music publishing industry.
Previous winners include Steve Clark (2019) and Andy Godfrey (2018).

Please fill out the nomination form (available as PDF and Word documents) and send back the completed form to [email protected].

The deadline for all nominations is Friday 3rd December 2021 2pm.
Please share with anyone you think might be interested.

The winner will be announced and ceremonially awarded at the MPA Christmas Lunch on Friday 17th December at the London Hilton on Park Lane, followed with a personalised official award and roll of honour in the MPA office.
