Teosto Prize
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Teosto Prize is an annual award presented since 2003 by the Finnish Composers' Copyright Society, Teosto, to promote Finnish creative music by highlighting bold, original, and innovative works. The prize can be awarded up to 4 works or collections of works, with a monetary value of €40,000. If there is only one recipient, the prize amounts to €25,000. The recipient is selected by a three-member jury appointed by Teosto, from a shortlist of nominees chosen by a preliminary panel. In 2010 and 2021, the prize was not awarded.
