Sydney Conservatorium of Music, at the University of Sydney, is pleased to be hosting the prestigious David Harold Tribe Symphony Award for 2016.

Worth $12,000, resident Australian composers are invited to submit a new symphonic composition of 20 minutes or more, which will be judged by a panel of three prominent Australian musicians led by the Conservatorium’s Associate Dean (Education) and Head of School Professor Matthew Hindson

This award has been made possible by a donation from David Harold Tribe through the David Harold Tribe Charitable Foundation. The program offers five prizes worth $12,000 each in the areas of fiction, poetry, philosophy, sculpture and symphony. These categories rotate each year to inspire ingenuity in artistic fields that are often overlooked when it comes to charitable support.

Applications close at 11.55pm on Monday 3 October 2016.

Please visit the Sydney Conservatorium of Music website for application information and for terms and conditions.
