The Zilveren Harp (Silver Harp) was a Dutch award given annually to promising musical talent.
The award is very prestigious and winners were chosen by a different jury each year.
The Zilveren Harp was given by the foundation "Buma Cultuur", which aims to promote Dutch music.
Buma Cultuur also presents the Gouden Harp award, which is given to an artist for his entire oeuvre and Buma Export Award for acts which are successful abroad.
The winners were announced at the end of the year, but the presentation was usually in February of the next year.
