Awards
Based on the judge’s evaluations, and considering the participant’s age, the complexity of musical selection, and years of practice, we award our cash prizes.
- Grand Prize $500
- First Prize $300
- Second Prize $200
- Third Prize $100
The award system is established in a manner in which those who receive the First Place honor are not necessarily predisposed to receive a Prize.
An applicant’s placement does not always correspond to the Prize they receive. With that being said, only judges may promote a winner’s Prize in the case of a special achievement.

First Place winners, who achieved the highest score (29-30), may receive Grand, First, Second, or Third Prize, or may not receive ANY of available cash rewards.
The winners of the Grand Prizes will be announced on the competition website and the Facebook page after all the recitals of the Second Round will be held.
