Burnett William Wendorff Memorial Prize for Classical Piano

The Burnett William Wendorff Memorial Prize for Classical Piano is an annual performance competition prize awarded to a student enrolled in the Bachelor of Music or Bachelor of Music (Honours) at the University of Queensland. The prize recognizes the most outstanding performance in classical piano. Established in 2016 through an endowed bequest from the estate of Eunice Shirley Wendorff, the prize honors her late husband, Burnett William Wendorff (1896-1989), who was a UQ alumnus and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1922. Eligible students must apply through an online form specifying the works they propose to perform, and successful applicants are invited to compete at an annual competition. The prize value is equal to the annual income from the endowed fund, and one award is granted per year for a duration of one year.
