The YAMawards Ceremony 2016 will take place at Larvik, Norway, on Tuesday the 25th of October within the context of the YAMsession, the annual international event for creative professionals working in the field of young audiences development that takes place in a different country every year. This year's YAMsession is hosted by Marked for Musikk, Norway's largest annual showcase for young audiences.

But the YAMsession is not only about showcasing the best young audiences productions from all over the world and crowning them in the YAMawards Ceremony. The event brings together every year a dynamic Producer's Forum hosting a wide range of thought provoking presentations, inspiring talks and discussions from international speakers who will share ideas about the different aspects and issues that confront us working with music education and young audiences., The event is a global hub for young audiences music development bringing together musicians, producers, organisers, educators and politicians to change the world for future generations.

We invite you to stay tuned and check our website under the new domain www.yamawards.org for the release of the results of the selection and on www.yamsession.org for the full program of the event.

See you all in Larvik!
