#SUMMERSHOT

Now in it's fifth year, #summershot was developed as a means by which NZMusic4U could contribute to the NZ music community, and as a result build trust, while also helping out artists in a small but material way. The most effective approach was found to be the of support up-and-coming artists with small amounts of cash that they could use for whatever needs they may have.


#summershot is a random draw out of fifty pre-selected artists who have been chosen for having created a track that has given this site's curator a "dopamine hit". This has previously been whittled down from a larger list numbering in the hundreds. A huge thanks must go to Martyn Pepperell who has again advised on the candidate list.


For #summershot2017, five artists will be selected at random and as usual, may spend it on anything they may so choose.


The pre-selection of the fifty candidates is done over the December/January period, and in 2017, will be announced live on Twitter (@nzmusic4u) at 11:00 am on Tuesday 4th February.
