Laura Whitmore and Chris Stark have been confirmed to present the debut Unsigned Music Awards.

Taking place on October 27th at London’s Troxy Theatre, the new televised awards show will recognise those artists who have yet to be discovered, alongside those who have chosen to remain independent.

Speaking of the presenter announcement, Unsigned Music Awards CEO Simon O’Kelly says: “The team and I are really excited for Chris and Laura to host the debut show for UMA. Together, they bring a blend of charm and glamour – with a sprinkling of cheekiness – which is perfectly suited to our vision for the show and above all else, it’s going to be a lot of fun.”

Applications for the Unsigned Music Awards are now open to singers, bands and musicians of all genres and you can apply via the UMAs website.
