The Gilmore Artist award, founded in 1989, is presented every four years by the Irving S. Gilmore International Keyboard Festival. Candidates, who are not informed that they are being considered, are nominated confidentially and then evaluated by a six-member committee. Age and nationality are not a factor.

Previous recipients of the Gilmore Artist award include Piotr Anderszewski in 2002 and Leif Ove Andsnes in 1998.
