The total package for each Azrieli Music Prize is valued at more than $200,000 CAD and includes: A $50,000 CAD cash prize; A premiere performance at the AMP Gala Concert in mid-October 2024 in Montréal; Two subsequent international performances; and A professional recording for future commercial release. The Azrieli Foundation upholds Fair Access Principles in managing AMP.
