On September 27, the Association of German Music Schools (VdM) awarded the prestigious Leopold Children's Media Prize for the ninth time.
A jury of experts selected 17 music recordings from 130 applications for the list of recommendations. Seven of these have now been awarded the coveted prize, the VdM's seal of approval for particularly "good music for children". The winners are the productions:

Regina Kraushaar, Head of Department at the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth, emphasized the importance of the media prize: "The Leopold has become a coveted seal of quality and the best thing about it, I think, is that the LEOPOLD has also become a brand for good children's music CDs in the public perception. Because convincing experts is hard enough. But when parents and grandparents or the godmother look for the seal when buying: Then the real goal has been achieved, and I find that extremely commendable."
The radio play CD The elephant poop - Save the zoo (Schott Music, for children aged 5 and over) was awarded the special "Poldi" prize by the children's jury.
The Leopold Media Prize has been awarded by the Association of German Music Schools every two years since 1997.
