The Mahler Award ‘Toblacher Komponierhäuschen’ exists since 1991 in Toblach, where the composer spent his holidays from 1908 to his death. ICMA Jury President Remy Franck took part in the Mahler Jury, together with Lothar Brandt, Zurich, Thomas Schulz, Munich, Götz Thieme, Stuttgart, and Chairman Attila Csampai, Munich.
