The Parkhouse Award was founded in 1990 in memory of David Parkhouse and his outstanding work as a chamber musician in Britain and abroad, notably as pianist and founder-member of the Music Group of London. The award is made at the biennial chamber music competition, which was won in 2009 by the viola and piano duo of Nils Monkemeyer and Nicholas Rimmer.

The next competition takes place in the Spring of 2011, with finals on 2 April, and will be for piano trios and piano quartets.

Application deadline is 1 December 2010 and ensembles must provide evidence that they have been performing together regularly during 2009 and 2010.
