Submissions Now Open for Music PEI’s Artist Development Programs!

Music PEI is now accepting applications for two of our flagship artist development opportunities: the Golden Ticket Program: Presented by Rising Tide Community Fund and the TD Diverse Voices Program. These initiatives are designed to support emerging artists who have already begun building their careers and are ready to take the next step in professional recording and releasing a single.

**Applications will be open from August 13, 2026 to September 13, 2026.**

The Golden Ticket Program: Presented by Rising Tide Community Fund, supports three emerging PEI artists in recording and releasing a single. Along the way, participants learn key business skills for a successful release, including registering with PROs (Performing Rights Organizations) and other essential industry practices.

The TD Diverse Voices Program supports two PEI artists each year from historically excluded or underrepresented communities. Participants will record and release a single while learning essential business skills, including registering with PROs (Performing Rights Organizations) and navigating best practices for a professional release under the mentorship of Katrina Lopes of KL Management.

Music PEI would also like to take a moment to extend our gratitude for our new partnership with the Rising Tide Community Fund for the Golden Ticket Program. We are so thankful for their support and commitment to supporting musicians on PEI in creating new works and developing new skills.
