Dallas Morning News on the Nutcracker last year: ...the Lewisville Lake Symphony, did credit to Tchaikovsky's magical score, down to the real celesta for the delicate Sugar Plum Fairy solo.

Vernell Gregg Artists Competition

$1,000 in prize money -- as well as an opportunity to solo with our all-professional orchestra

The Grand Prize Winner of the Lewisville Lake Symphony Young Artists' Competition is the guest artist at our February concert and wins $1,000 in cash. 

 

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 on January 26, 2008.

 

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.

 

The $1,000 Letitia Goodman Memorial Scholarship Award

 is provided by Bill and Pat Leggett

 

Competition supported by Texas-New Mexico Power Company
