  • Should you be selected as a ‘finalist’ as part of the showcase element you agree to produce a two minute video for consideration by the judges (from the sponsor companies) who will select a winner in each category.
  • If selected as a ‘winner’ in your category you will then be expected to prepare a presentation for an industry conference which will take place in London on 22-23 January.

Music Ally SI:X Mentoring Advice

Opinions, advice and insight given to startups by Music Ally and/or the Sponsors and/or their respective representatives should not be relied on or treated as professional advice or guidance or otherwise be relied on by the startups. No warranty or representation is provided. Neither Music Ally, its Sponsors nor their representatives assume any liability or responsibility regarding any such information.

Music Ally will co-ordinate all the mentoring sessions for the Music Ally SI:X winners with the Sponsor companies. The winning startups should therefore not contact the Sponsor companies directly without the prior written permission of Music Ally [or the Sponsors].

Email Marketing

From time to time Music Ally may run competitions, promotions and surveys related to Music Ally products such as events or education packages. These promotions form part of a Music Ally subscription as they include discounts or offers which are uniquely available to subscribers. All subscribers are able to opt out of these at any time without it affecting their subscription.

In addition members of one of our sponsored subscription offers may from time to time receive messages from the sponsors which subsidise their subscription. These form part of the service which you elect to receive when you sign up for a free subscription under one of these packages.

Music Ally retains the right to share readers’ company names with sponsors and potential sponsors of the sponsored subscriptions only.

GDPR includes prohibition on bundling a service with the requirement to consent to uses of data that are not strictly necessary to enable its provision. In the case of sponsored subscriptions it is a necessary component of the sponsorship that our partners are able to communicate with subscribers to that package. Subscribers may therefore opt out of communications from Music Ally but not from the sponsor partner without unsubscribing from the entire service.
