Special Medallion Recipients

Since 2004, the Festival has been awarding medallions to the first (gold), second (silver), and third (bronze) prize winners in the Festival competition in addition to the monetary awards. The list of all competition medalists can be found under History/Previous Winners.

In 2004, the Festival also began to give out special medallions to certain other recipients. Gold Medallions (see list here) have been awarded to guest artist/s and composers of our commissioned works (if they are attending the Festival). During our 25th Festival year, Silver Medallions (see list here) were awarded to recognize and honor Board members and long-serving volunteers.

In some years, medallions were awarded to additional special recipients. Profiles of special medallion recipients can be found here.
