Jazzpar Prize

Jazzpar Prize

The Jazzpar Prize (established 1990) was an annual Danish prize within jazz founded by Arnvid Meyer. The winner is one out of five nominees, among internationally recognized performers of jazz. The award is 200,000 Danish crowns and a bronze statue by Jørgen Haugen Sørensen. The ceremony is held in Copenhagen in the late spring, and begins a week of jazz activities in the capitol. The main sponsor for many years was the Scandinavian Tobacco Company.The candidates are selected by a panel of international critics including Filippo Bianchi (Italy), Alex Dutilh (France), Peter H. Larsen (Denmark), Dan Morgenstern (Usa), Brian Priestley (Uk), Boris Rabinowitsch (Denmark), headed by non-voting chairman Cim Meyer.

The prize projected ended in 2005 due to loss of sponsorship.
