After the first phase which saw the vast jury, made up of experts, journalists and professionals chosen by the Club Tencomake their choices, the number of candidates going to the ballot has now been reduced and among which the winners of the elections will emerge Tenco license plates divided into six categories.

Like every year, the awards ceremony will take place during the evenings of “Tenco Award” which will be held in 2024 17,18 and 19 October at the Ariston Theater in Sanremo. The festival dedicated to the most prestigious and renowned Songwriter of our country, which this year celebrates the important 50 year milestonealso in this edition will reward one or more artists with the Tenco Awardassigned by Club Tenco to the careers of those who have made a significant contribution to the world of songwriting.
