In 1929, RCA Victor offered a prize of $25,000 for a new symphonic work.
The
prize was divided among five composers. Copland was one; he received $5,000
for his submission.
How to find out who were the other four recipients? Also, who at RCA/Victor
was in charge of the competition? Can one find out who were the judges?
Can
one find out who submitted works?
