HAYNES AWARD
The Wm. S. Haynes Co. donates a solid silver, handmade headjoint to go to the candidate the members of the jury decide would most benefit from a new headjoint. This may not necessarily be someone who progresses to the second or final round - but will be a player who it is agreed by the jury could make good use of a more sophisticated headjoint. Jury decisions are final and no correspondence will be entered into.
