Good music for children
For the eleventh time, the Association of German Music Schools (VdM) is awarding the "Leopold" media prize, which has been recognizing good music for children for over 20 years. New this time are music-related German-language online formats (internet portals, apps ...).
The "Leopold" has long been established in CD and music stores as well as on the Internet. Among other things, the award serves as a seal of quality and makes it easier for parents, teachers and educators to select children's audio media. The Media prize "Leopold" - Good music for children has been awarded since 1997 for CDs, MCs, CD-ROMs and DVDs that contribute to the theme in a variety of imaginative and high-quality productions such as traditional and new children's songs, rock, pop and world music, music theater, "classical music", interesting facts related to music or music-oriented audio books.
Producers, publishers and recording companies can apply with their music productions for children to be recommended by the expert and children's jury. We are looking for creative compositions that inspire a love of music in children at a high artistic and technical level and support their development. This year, music-related internet portals and apps from German-speaking countries can also apply.
Productions that were published between January 1, 2013 and January 31, 2017 and can be purchased through retailers or other sales channels can be submitted. The closing date for entries is January 31, 2017 and the award ceremony is scheduled for September 29, 2017 at the WDR Funkhaus in Cologne. The "Leopold" is supported by the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth as well as the partners WDR 3 Kulturradio and the Initiative Hören.
