BBC Radio Scotland launches search for top jazz musicians
The initiative, now in its third year, is run in partnership with the Glasgow Jazz Festival.
The search aims to encourage and recognise the diverse talent in Scotland's jazz scene.
This competition complements BBC Radio Scotland's awards for Young Trad and Young Classical musicians, along with BBC Introducing's search for the best in contemporary music.
Young musicians aged between 18 and 27, who live in Scotland, can apply by completing an online entry form and submitting a 10-minute video of themselves performing.
