RIAM Spotlight Awards
Celebrating Achievement, Talent, and Creativity
The RIAM Spotlight Awards, in partnership with Ace Autobody, are a celebration of the incredible achievements of the
many thousands of students who participate in RIAM Exams and Assessments every year.
These awards celebrate that amazing talent and creativity in new and exciting ways –
showing that Ireland is alive with creative energy!
How it works
Examiners are asked to make a special note of inspiring performers of all ages that they thought were especially brilliant, interesting or imaginative across our Exams. If you are spotted by an Examiner, then you are already a winner!
In addition, teachers of each Spotlight Winner are sent Certificates of Recognition, celebrating their dedication and support in nurturing that artist and their performance.
All selected students are given the opportunity to post a video of their amazing performance on the RIAM website to inspire other performers, and presented with special Spotlight Award Medals.
Provincial and Gala Showcase Concerts
Provincial Spotlight Concerts take place in major performance venues of the four provinces, showcasing a selection of the Spotlight Winners, and presenting all regional Spotlight awardees with their Medals.
The Spotlight Gala Concert at RIAM’s spectacular Whyte Recital Hall is the pinnacle of the year, when selected Spotlight winners from each province perform alongside special musical guests.
A Platform for Inspiration
From budding artists to seasoned performers, the Spotlight Awards recognise not only exceptional talent but also significant personal
achievements.
