Cantamessa Creates Unique Jewelry Award for Made In New York Jazz Competition 

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. 

The mission of the Made In New York Jazz Competition is to preserve jazz, and to give young international jazz artists an opportunity to showcase music to an audience around the world. The Made In New York Jazz Competition has had two successful years, and is currently looking forward to the upcoming gala concert on June 27 in Tribeca Performing Art Center to put a bow on the 2014 competition. The competition's winners for 2014 were recently announced. 

One aim of the Made In New York Jazz Competition is to bring jazz to modern technology. Through the Internet, the Made In New York Jazz Competition has attracted thousands of registered jazz fans and musicians, and participating artists have received over a million video loads from jazz fans all over the world. The format of the Made In New York Jazz Competition brings the international world of jazz music right to people’s smart phones.

The Made In New York Jazz Competition is in its third year. The online competition has a reputation for running 365 days a year. While the deadline for entries in a given year is October 28, entries may be submitted after that date for entry in the following year. Winners have the opportunity to come to New York and perform at the Made In New York Jazz Gala, which was held at the Tribeca Performing Arts Complex in Manhattan the first year, and will again feature the festival for the 2014 contest on June 27, 2015.

Cantamessa joins other prestigious sponsors and partners of the Made In New York Jazz Competition, such as Kawai USA.
