Application guidance — from the funder’s own website

How to apply: Nominations are open for the 2027 RPS Awards. The RPS Emily Anderson Violin Prize, RPS Philip Jones Brass Prize, and RPS Henderson Chamber Ensemble Award support the development of outstanding young musicians establishing their careers. We are now welcoming entries for our prize that encourages young people aged 16 to 25 to write about classical music.

About this data

This grant list is extracted by automated reading of the grant-maker’s own accounts PDFs as filed with the Charity Commission, and cross-checked against the accounts’ stated grant totals (no individually listed grants). Recipients are linked to register entries only on an exact charity-number or unambiguous exact-name match. If you represent this funder or a recipient and want a correction, email [email protected].

Grants marked “Unverified read” were flagged by automated checks as possibly misread from the filed accounts. They stay in the list and the CSV (read_status column) but are left out of the totals, counts and recipient tallies this site computes.
