The American Prize
National Nonprofit Competitions in the Performing Arts
is the nation's most comprehensive series of contests in the musical and theater arts.
The American Prize is nonprofit, unique in scope and structure, and is designed to evaluate,
recognize and reward the best performers, composers, conductors, ensembles and directors
in the United States, based on submitted recordings.
There is no live competition. There are no age limits.
Founded in 2010 and now celebrating its tenth anniversary, The American Prize has awarded
more than $100,000 in prizes in all categories since its creation. Thousands of artists
representing all fifty states have derived benefit from their participation in the contests of
The American Prize.
David (Volosin) Katz is founder and chief judge of The American Prize.
The American Prize is administered by Hat City Music Theater, Incd., a 501(c)3 registered nonprofit organization based in Danbury, CT.
