The Relief Society Music Category is sponsored by the Eccles Music Fund. Submissions will be reviewed for artistic merit, usefulness for home or church, general appeal, ease of performance, originality, quality of text, and compatibility of music to text. Non-English submissions are welcomed. Awards of Distinction ($200), Awards of Merit ($100), and special recognitions may be given. Award money will be divided equally among the coauthors and composers.
