We have to stop
Message
from Founding Principal/CEO, LIPA
Despite
sterling help from our partners (EMI, HMV, Yamaha),
latterly we were paying for this contest. The funding
arrangements for
higher education are being seriously changed by the coalition
government, so
all our costs are under pressure.
While
we were trying to see if it was possible to keep MIBI
alive by researching other funders, we read the recent announcement by
The
British Phonographic Industry of THE NEXT BRIT THING.
If
you read the details on the website (www.nextbritthing.com),
you’ll see a repeat of MIBI … possibly better given the
partners and,
given the partners, it’s unlikely that anyone is going to assist
something
similar. So we have to stop.
While
this new competition doesn’t have the marketing element,
if you are a singer/songwriter, have a look at this new contest. You’ll
experience something of what MIBI was.
Best of luck.
