Eddie Harvey Jazz Arranger Awards

Named after the famed jazz educator and arranger, and kindly supported by the Harvey family, these awards seek to recognize and give a wider profile to the often-overlooked craft of arranging. The Award is administered by the Company in collaboration with the original trustees.

The Award is open to British residents aged 28 or under at the closing date. A prize of £1,500 is offered for an arrangement for big band, and a prize of £1,000 for an arrangement for smaller ensemble.

BREAKING: The deadline for submissions for the next competition is extended to Thursday 31st December 2025. Please download an entry form and regulations using the links below.
