About Us

The many strands of the Academy’s activity include the lobbying of politicians, civil servants and industry bodies; celebrating achievement through such events as the Ivors, the Gold Badge Awards and the British Composer Awards, and fostering a community in what is frequently a solitary freelance world. 

This section will give you information on our role; our long and illustrious history; our event programme; our supporters and partnerships; our activities in Scotland; our regional network and most importantly the people who work for and serve the Academy.
