The Best Edition Awards were also presented at the Frankfurt International Music Fair in April 2013. Every year, the Deutscher Musikverleger-Verband e. V. (DMV) awards prizes to music and music books of outstanding quality. The aim is to highlight the achievements of those involved in production and, above all, to raise the public's awareness of quality. Dagmar Sikorski from the DVM: "The association and its 500 member publishers thus honor special editorial achievements in times of the levelling of cultural achievements and the prevalence of cheap reproductions."
More than 300,000 editions of sheet music from German publishers are available in German music shops, with around 7,000 new publications being added every year.
