The Lewis Prize for Music

The Lewis Prize for Music is opening applications for the 2024 Accelerator Awards. Accelerator Awards are open to Creative Youth Development (CYD) music organizations seeking to influence youth-serving systems so all young people have access to learning, creating, and performing experiences that reflect their culture and identity.

Applicants advancing beyond Round 1 will be notified in early July. They will be asked to submit additional materials July 8-29.
