Vernell Gregg Artists Competition $1,200 in prize money -- as well as an opportunity to solo with our all-professional orchestra
Saturday, January 23, 2010
The Competition has gained a wide reputation that attracts entries from across the U.S. and winners from several states.
The next one takes place in January 2010
The Competition involves a two-step process. In the first round, contestants are asked to submit a performance audiotape or CD. These are evaluated and a portion of the contestants were invited to participate in the second round where they perform live before a panel of distinguished judges. The judges, in addition to a Grand Prize Winner, choose place winners in junior and senior categories.
The judges may award three Grand Prizes if warranted by the level of talent. If that happens, the $1,000 prize money will be split equally among the Grand Prize Winners.
