The Jane LeBlanc Legacy Fund has created an award for New Brunswick resident composer-singers or composer-singers who are also musicians to assist them in the recording and mastering of one of their original songs as well as helping them to create their album art and brand to distribute their mastered track to all online music platforms.
This award is for any unsigned NB music artists who are doing it all themselves! No ageism allowed. Even if you are an older artist, we want to get your submission.

If the music jury selects you, you will receive:
- Full assistance with recording and mastering of one song (Eastern Hive Studio) and marketing and distribution costs (Cat LeBlanc Music).

What You Need to Do:
- Submit one draft vocal and music recording (for composer-singers who are musicians) or one draft vocal recording for (composer-singers only) of your original song for consideration.
