The YAMawards
celebrate the world's best
live music productions for young audiences
Every year the YAMawards puts out a global call to find the very best live music productions for young audiences.
Concerts that inspire, entertain, and awaken a sense of wonder and delight.
A programme of JM International, the YAMawards work to promote access to high-quality artistic experiences for all youth and children worldwide.
Musicians/artists can apply in various categories, including Best Small Ensemble, Best Large Ensemble, Best School Concert, Best Opera and Best Participatory Project.
We crown the winners during the annual YAMsession, an international showcase conference that brings together the global YAM community in a different country each year.
