Announcing the William Bennett Prize

The BFS are honoured to announce the new William Bennett Prize, which will be awarded at the BFS Competitions for the first time this year. This will be presented to the first prize winner of each competition category as follows:

  • Young Artist - £2000

  • Young Performer - £1000

  • School Performer - £500

The BFS are incredibly grateful to Michie Bennett for entrusting us with this legacy, which will enable us to award this prize for a number of years. As one of the founding members of the BFS, and our President for many years, we cannot think of a better way to commemorate Wibb’s extraordinary life and his profound impact on the flute world.

A full list of prizes will be announced shortly.
