# International Film Music Critics Association Award for Best New Archival Release of an Existing Score – Re-Release or Re-Recording

The International Film Music Critics Association Award for Best New Archival Release of an Existing Score – Re-Release or Re-Recording is an annual award given by the International Film Music Critics Association, or the IFMCA. The award is given to the composer(s) of a score's re-release and/or re-recording deemed to be the best in a given year. Recipients of the award also include conductors, album producers, album artwork artists and liner note writers. The award was first given in 1998, and separated into two categories; one for re-releases, and another for re-recordings (it was awarded separately again in 2009, 2012 and 2013). It has been awarded every year since 2008.
