Congratulations to composers Ryan Amon (left) and Jonathan Kupper (right), winners of the BMI Foundation's 15th Annual Pete Carpenter Fellowship for aspiring film composers under the age of 35. Each winner received a $2000 stipend and spent one month in Los Angeles with renowned BMI TV composer Mike Post ("Hill Street Blues," "Magnum P.I.," "NYPD Blue") and other distinguished theatrical, film and TV composers.

Seen here congratulating Amon and Kupper are Post and BMI's Linda Livingston, who serves as the fellowship's director.
