Eddie Harvey Jazz Arranger Award

This award was established to perpetuate the memory of Eddie Harvey and to honour his expressed wish to try to ensure that arrangers of jazz compositions receive due acknowledgement of the importance of their contributions to jazz.  The Award is administered by the Company in collaboration with the original trustees.

The Award is open to British residents of all ages. A prize of £1,000 is offered for an arrangement for any orthodox form i.e. big band, smaller ensemble, or any other realistically sized aggregation of instrumentation or voices.

The next competition will take place in late 2024.
