# Leopold (prize)

Leopold is a biennial German media prize for music for children, subtitled "Gute Musik für Kinder" (Good music for children).

The price was initiated in 1997 by the Verband deutscher Musikschulen [de] (VDM, association of German music schools), supported by the Federal Ministry of Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth as a quality label for recommended recordings of music for children.

From 2001, the broadcaster Westdeutscher Rundfunk has been a cultural partner of the VdM. Therefore, the award ceremonies are normally held at the hall Funkhaus Wallrafplatz [de] in Cologne.
