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 (from 2025) a prize of £1,000 for an arrangement for smaller ensemble.

Next competition: entry deadline December 2026. Entry forms and regulations will be available from September 2026.
