Youtube Talent Funds

"YouTube is to invest €500,000 (£441,000) in a scheme to support UK digital talent. The YouTube NextUp fund will allow up to 25 people to win a €20,000 grant to develop their content on the video-sharing website, as well as a place at a "creator camp" that will give training in production techniques. To apply, creators must be YouTube partners – content producers who earn revenue through their accounts. YouTube said they could include singers, dancers, actors, producers, musicians or makeup artists who create their own video content." I found this story on the guardian website. This is, potentially, a new way for musician to become well known in the music world. This could also lead to musicians getting record deals with both major or minor labels.
