Jazz Futures: Support the National Jazz Award

Jazz Futures – National Jazz Award Campaign

With Jazz Futures, your support directly advances the future of jazz by enriching the experiences of Australia’s most promising emerging artists. The National Jazz Award has long been a career-launching platform for young musicians, and with your help we can take it to new heights.

Funds raised will:

• Elevate prize value – recognising artistic excellence and providing tangible support to young musicians as they establish their careers.

• Underwrite professional production – ensuring that finalists perform in an environment that reflects the quality and prestige of the Award.

• Provide mentorship and authentic audience engagement – pairing finalists with established artists and offering meaningful, professional performance experiences that prepare them for sustainable careers.

Why your support matters:
Delivering this nationally significant award comes with rising costs, and without donor support the opportunities we provide to these exceptional young artists would be limited. By contributing, you help sustain a platform that has launched many of Australia’s leading jazz performers and ensure the next generation has the recognition, resources, and inspiration to thrive.

Together, we can safeguard the future of jazz and nurture the artists who will shape its sound for decades to come.
