An encouragement award of $50 will be awarded to a double reed player who performs in the Woodwind Division at the Special Awards Concert held at the end of the competition season.

This is supported by the Geoffrey Hackett-Jones Double Reed Trust.

The Gabor Reeves Woodwind Medallion will be presented to a woodwind player for excellence in performance at the Special Awards Concert held at the end of the competition season.
