Zilveren Harp


The Zilveren Harp is a Dutch award given annually to promising musical talent. The award is very prestigious and winners are chosen by a different jury each year. The Zilveren Harp is given by the foundation "Buma Cultuur", which aims to promote Dutch music.
The first award was given in 1969, and it has been presented every year since.
Buma Cultuur also presents the Gouden Harp award, which is given to an artist for his entire oeuvre and Buma Export Award for acts which are successful abroad.

Winners

The winners are announced at the end of the year, but the presentation is usually in February of the next year.
