ITG Recording Awards
Sponsored by Pickett Blackburn
The ITG Recording Awards recognize outstanding trumpet recordings in two separate categories: classical and jazz/improvised music. Recordings are assessed via blind review by a jury of outstanding trumpet artists. Awards are given based on the artistic merit, technical achievement, innovation, potential for impact on the larger musical discipline, and the overall quality of an album. Read more about assessment criteria HERE. The jury will award up to 2 gold and 4 silver medals in each category. Published recordings must have been released between January 1st, 2022 and December 31st, 2024. [future award windows will be limited to one calendar year]
Unpublished albums that are not under contract with a record label may also be submitted. Any unpublished album that receives an award is eligible for publication via the ITG Select Record Label.
