About the Tribute of the Muses Awards
The name Tribute of the Muses originates from Greek Mythology where the nine daughters of Zeus, called Muses, each possessed a distinct gift among the disciplines of poetry, art, dance, and music and were considered the inspiration for the arts and sciences.
Past years’ winners have been chosen from several arts fields including dance, music, art education and the visual arts.
