** Special Announcement for Potential Grawemeyer Award for Music Composition Composers and Sponsors
We are behind our normal schedule for getting out the information for the next Grawemeyer Award cycle (2011). This is due in part to the recent catastrophic flooding on the University of Louisville campus. Many buildings and offices are still closed, and will be for weeks to come, and much University business is delayed, especially matters not directly related to the start of fall classes. This obviously has taken priority. We hope to have the information up on the website by the end of September or early October, with paper copies going out to the institutions on our mailing list shortly thereafter.
Since the entrance requirements remain essentially the same from year to year you can look at the requirements for the 2010 Award under “How To Enter” to see what is needed for an entry package. The deadline for submission will likely be the 2nd or 3rd Monday in January, 2010, with works premiered between 1 January 2005 and 31 December 2009 being eligible for entry. However, note that the official requirements, when announced, will be binding and will supersede this posting if there are any differences.
We hope this won’t cause any serious inconvenience and we look forward to another strong pool of applicants for the 2011 Award.
The announcement of the 2010 winner should take place as scheduled, in late November or early December of this year, with the presentation being made in April of 2010.
