Congratulations to our winners and many sincere thanks to all of our publishers for submitting. Competition was fierce this year, and there was truly superb work coming from each and every publisher!
Getting us back on track, the Paul Revere Awards for Graphic Excellence were presented online at the MPA Annual Meeting & Year-End Update on Friday, June 11. This year’s awards were presented by Frank J. Oteri of NewMusicBox at New Music USA.
