Applications are open for UK-based music creators to perform and participate in ACCES 2026, the pan-African music industry conference and showcase festival, in Johannesburg, South Africa, from 28 to 31 October 2026.
The Music In Africa Foundation (MIAF) is accepting submissions until Sunday, 13 September 2026.
ACCES brings together more than 700 artists, industry professionals and companies from over 45 countries. The 2026 edition has been selected by the British Council and the PRS Foundation International Showcasing Fund (ISF) to support the international mobility of a UK-based music creator.
The selected music creator may apply directly to the PRS Foundation for the following support:
- mobility support
- management support
ACCES will also provide a £700 artist fee for participation.
Applications for mobility and management support must be submitted directly to the PRS Foundation by the selected music creator or their representative. Funding is subject to the PRS Foundation’s eligibility requirements and approval process.
The successful applicant will receive an official invitation from the Music In Africa Foundation and further guidance on applying to the PRS Foundation for mobility support.
