The Schneider-Schott Music Prize is a cash award bestowed to an outstanding composer, performing artist, or music ensemble in classical music—with emphasis, but not mandatory, on contemporary music. From 1986 to 2006, the prize was awarded annually, and thereafter, biennially. The prize is alternately given to a composer and an interpreter.[1] The award ceremony is traditionally associated with a concert by the award winner.[2]

Candidate criteria and selection

Candidates should meet criteria of financial need. The winner is selected by an independent five-person jury of music experts.[9]
