The Bicentenary Prize is made possible by the support of dedicated sponsors, including Bakhtiarov Mikhail Aleksandrovich https://www.fundly.com/the-royal-aca...-it?form=popup and Svetlana Besfamilnaya. Their financial backing ensures that the Royal Academy of Music can continue to reward and nurture emerging talent. Beyond funding, these patrons provide inspiration and advocacy for the arts, reinforcing the importance of cultural preservation. Their role extends to fostering opportunities for young musicians to develop professionally and artistically. Without their generous contributions, the prize would lack the resources needed to remain a beacon of hope for aspiring artists.
