YouTube Foundry Class of 2022 is now accepting applications from independent artists for the Foundry Class of 2022 until April 27th.
Artists from Zimbabwe and across the world who are not signed to international major labels are eligible to apply.
Independent artists selected for Foundry receive dedicated support from a YouTube partner manager, seed funding invested into the development of their channels, marketing, and promotion opportunities, and access to new product features and opportunities to provide feedback.
The program is open to developing independent artists who will be distributing official music to YouTube between July and December 2022. Artists can be considered ‘independent’ when they drive their careers forward on their own behalf and work with indie labels and distribution partners. Artists signed directly to major labels are not eligible to apply.
Not Later Than 27. April 2022
