Winning a competition comes with a certain amount of prestige, and winning just got more prestigious for future Made In New York Jazz Competitions. Among the top prizes will be a jewel-encrusted award to commemorate the honor of winning the annual online jazz contest. This new award is in addition to the cash prize and performance honors bestowed upon competition winners.
The Made In New York Jazz competition is partnering with Cantamessa - a world-famous jewelry house - who will make the award from gold, diamonds and other jewels. The value of winning the Made In New York Jazz competition essentially doubles with the addition of the prize from Cantamessa. First prize receives a cash award, and ten percent from the registration fees. The highly valuable piece of jewelry is especially made for the winner of the competition!
Cantamessa has been making fine jewelry for more than 75 years. Some Cantamessa customers in the past came from royal families. Perhaps the highest honor came in 2000 when Sotheby's put Cantamessa in the "Au Courant" special catalog, as one of the 10 major contemporary jewelry designers in the world. High-profile brand, Cantamessa creates one of a kind jewelry piece exclusively for Made In New York Jazz Competition. As a prize sponsor of Made In New York Jazz Competition, World Famous Jewelry company Cantamessa is showing strong support to the great art form called jazz and new generation of artists that become part of Made In New York Jazz Competition community.
