The American Prize is pleased to announce FINALIST composers of band music for
2016-17. Congratulations! To know the exact date when winners and runners-up will be
announced, please "like" our Facebook page or follow us on Twitter #AmericanPrize, where that information will be published first.
If you are not a finalist this year, please remember that the contests
are not yet over. The American Prize reserves the right to award
Honorable Mentions and Citations for Special Achievement to any
contestant, regardless of final placement.
TAP has honored many semi-finalists in the past--to recognize
a unique talent or focus, unusual repertoire, vital programming or
outreach.
Citations and Honorable Mentions are usually awarded at
the same time as winners and runners-up, but can be presented at any
time up to the last winners' announcement.
Please make us aware of any misprints in the listings below by emailing: theamericanprize@gmail.com
