The Ivors celebrate the outstanding writing achievements of songwriters, composers
and their music publishers. The awards either celebrate artistic excellence in a
specific work, exceptional performance figures in the award year or recognise
the outstanding achievements of a particular songwriter or composer throughout their
career.
The Ivors continue to be acknowledged as the most widely coveted awards for British songwriters and composers in the world.
They are judged and presented by the songwriting and composing community.

"I remember coming here the very first time with my mates John, George and Ringo.
Sitting back there just as little kids we were... And it was just fantastic to be
part of this songwriting thing. It was always the greatest award - the greatest
thing to get for songwriters. I think it still is."
Sir Paul McCartney
"It's great to receive a songwriting award in front of a room full of songwriters. You know how difficult it is to write a decent song."
Sting
