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. 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.
Next competition: entry deadline 8 January 2027. Please download an entry form and regulations using the links below.
