The 2021 competition was canceled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Competitors are required to perform Franz Liszt’s Un Sospiro, arr. H. Renié, and can choose between Manuel de Falla’s Spanish Dance No. 1 from La Vida Breve or Carlos Salzedo’s Jeux d’eau for their second selection. The three winners chosen will receive a $2,000 cash prize and a $500 gift certificate to Lyon & Healy. The 2019 Lyon & Healy Awards featured 54 harpists performing Nino Rota’s Sarabande e Toccata and Le Jardin Mouillé by Jacques de la Presle.
