Gaudeamus International Composers Award

"Gaudeamus Prize" redirects here. For the contemporary music performance prize, see Gaudeamus International Interpreters Award.

The Gaudeamus International Composers Award is made by the Gaudeamus Foundation. The prize is awarded yearly, to a young composer at Dutch music concert, Gaudeamus Muziekweek.[1]

The Gaudeamus Foundation had held an annual music week of Dutch compositions since 1947, alternating with an international competition until 1959, from which time they became fully international.[2]
