Candidate criteria and selection

Candidates should meet criteria of financial need. The winner is selected by an independent jury of music experts.

Prize founder and benefactor

The €15,000[6] award is funded by an endowment established by Heinz Schneider-Schott (1906–1988) and his wife. In 1952, Schneider-Schott, a son-in-law of Ludwig Strecker, Jr. (1883–1978), became a director of the London-based music publishing firm, Schott and Co., which in 1980, reunited with Schott Music GmbH & Co. KG, in Mainz, which in 2006 was renamed Schott Music Limited.
