The Academy of Country Music (ACM) is now accepting nominations and applications for its 2025 LEVel Up: Lifting Every Voice program, with a submission deadline of Monday, November 11.
This two-year intensive program, funded entirely by the ACM at no cost to participants, aims to nurture the next generation of leaders in the music industry. It empowers participants to broaden the appeal of country music to diverse audiences across demographics and geography.
During the first year, participants will gain insights into the music business from industry executives and engage in volunteer opportunities. They will collaborate to develop a proposal aimed at expanding the genre’s reach to new and underrepresented audience segments. In the second year, the cohort will implement the plan created during their initial year.
Emerging leaders with over five years of industry experience and a commitment to making country music accessible are encouraged to apply. Peers can also nominate candidates for consideration. For more information and to submit nominations or applications, interested individuals can visit the ACM website.
