EMCY Prize

All EMCY member competitions have the opportunity to award a special prize from EMCY for an exceptional performance at their competition. This prize is a work of art, currently a graphic by the German artist Gottfried Jäger.

Here's the EMCY Prize 'Hall of Fame' since 2008. We're confident that many of these young musicians will develop illustrious careers in the future, so watch out for their names!
