FreshGrass Awards
The 2025 FreshGrass Awards submissions are now closed. Stay tuned for announcements on who will be our finalists in Band, Fiddle, Mandolin, and Banjo!
The FreshGrass Awards celebrate and reward emerging artists who offer innovative interpretations of bluegrass and roots music traditions and take place each year at the Freshgrass Festival in North Adams, MA. With multiple categories and prizes totaling more than $30,000 cash each year — plus studio time at Compass Records for the Band winner — we’re proud that our awards are the most ambitious of their kind.
