Note

Please plan ahead! Because competitions can fill quickly, submit forms early to ensure there will be room for your student. Entry is on a first come first served basis. Please fill out the forms completely, giving information in the way it is requested so that performance materials can be prepared on time. Only completed forms received by the deadline can participate.

A panel of judges will select winners in three separate age categories: Junior (age 12 and under), Senior (age 13-High school senior), and Adult (age 18 and above, not in High School). The judges are at liberty to determine that there is no suitable winner in any or all categories. The judges are also free to select multiple winners in a category if warranted. The judges have complete discretion over the number of winners selected and the number within each instrumental discipline.
