This major national award is open to young composers resident in the UK up to the age of 25, divided into two age categories: 18 years and under; and 19 to 25 years. Composers are invited to create a contemporary response to one of the most intimate musical forms of the Renaissance, the lute song. They must create a new piece for lute and either a male (tenor) or female (mezzo-soprano) singer.
