Trio Air Drawn Dagger, collective Ari Tsugi, singer Eli Dayo, singer Mali Hâf, artist Nat Oaks, Master Peace, Sarah Meth and five-piece Westside Cowboy are the names who are in with a chance of being given a main slot at Glastonbury 2025 and a £5,000 Talent Development prize from PRS Foundation.

The announcement comes after Glastonbury revealed their ticket payment deadline for 2025.
Tickets for the festival originally went on sale in November last year, with both coach and general admission tickets selling out in under 30 minutes.
Organisers of the Somerset event have since confirmed that those luckily enough to secure a deposit last Autumn, now have from 9am 1st April until 11.59pm on 7th April to pay their final balance.
See the full details below:
Organisers detailed on the official website: "If you have paid a deposit for either a general admission ticket or a ticket + coach travel option for the 2025 Glastonbury Festival, your balance payment of £303.50 (including a £5 booking fee per ticket) is due between 09:00 BST on Tuesday 1st April and 23:59 BST on Monday 7th April 2025."
They add that ticket-goers will be able to add car park tickets and Ticket Plan Refund Protection to their booking and balance payments will also be subject to postage and packing fees of £10.25 per order for general admission tickets and £2.75 for coach e-tickets.
Any tickets which balance has not been paid for will be refunded £50 within 7 working days of the balance period ending, but with a £25 admin fee retained.
The balance deadline is likely to mean that tickets are most likely to go on resale on either the second or third week of April.

Meanwhile, Glastonbury is continuing to share its individual stage and area posters, with the line-ups for the likes of the Acoustic Stage, the Field of Avalon and West Holds revealed so far.
The last area to get a mention was Sliver Hayes, which is described as the "original dance music area at Worthy Farm," that "combines forward-thinking electronic artists across five music stages with positive action, debate, technology & design throughout the field."
