For Artists: What Happens If I Am Nominated?

When nominations are received, we write to the artists and ask them to provide the following for the Artistic Committee's consideration:

• a biography
• five copies of an audio recording, preferably in live performance. If possible the recording should include works by Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann or Brahms, amongst other repertoire.
• date of birth

The Artistic Committee will then select a shortlist. Artists on the shortlist will be asked for the following material:

• a repertoire list
• a list of future engagements
• a personal statement as to how they think they could best use the Trust's support

The Artistic Committee then meets and reviews all the nominees, whether short listed or not, before making its final decision. All nominees are informed as to the Trust's final selection.

Arrangements are then made for the successful candidates to meet with the Executive Director so that the level and type of support to be given can be discussed in detail.
