Talk:BBC Young Musician

Untitled
Maybe I'm missing something here, but why is the "last award" section in the box at the top "N/A"? It was last awarded in 2006. --Vergency (talk) 23:44, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

This has been fixed. Thanks!--Vergency (talk) 00:34, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Needs work
Review
 * 1) The entire Past finalists section is unreferenced except for 2004, 2006 and 2008.
 * 2) The list is also redundant because it has the winners at the top and again in the past finalists section.
 * 3) The prose section is also very short relative to the article's scope.

Isn't there a composing award too? I doon't see it mentioned here. 87.113.154.117 (talk) 20:33, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Danny Driver
I've just written an article on the pianist Danny Driver. It includes the claim (see here) that he won the BBC Radio 2 Young Musician of the Year Competition in 2001.

Then I realised there are 3 things wrong with this:
 * he was born in 1977, making him at least 23 in 2001, possibly 24 – but there's an age limit of 18 for competition entrants
 * the competition is held in even-numbered years, but 2001 is an odd number
 * he is not mentioned among the winners here, or even the finalists.

So, what competition could these cites possibly be referring to? -- ♬  Jack of Oz  ♬  [your turn]  22:26, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

Move?
Maybe this page should be moved to something like "List of BBC Young Musician of the Year finalists and winners"? George8211 conversations 20:52, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Musical Genres?
So what musical genres does the competition cover? Is it merely classical or does it have wider scope than that? The article should say. 86.151.226.12 (talk) 19:56, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

Suggestion for a new category
I have already suggested on the Young Scientists of the Year talk page that we start a new category - BBC Young Person of the  Year Awards. This article mentions something called Young Dancer of the Year, so that is at least three entries that could be entered into this category. Vorbee (talk) 15:03, 23 April 2016 (UTC) I believe there is a BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year, so that would make it four! Vorbee (talk) 15:05, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
