Youth Music Contest

Contestants must be in grades 9 – 12. They may enter their solo vocal, keyboard, or instrumental performance in the contest. Contestants should download the links to Rules and Application and prepare an entry with a private YouTube Channel. Clubs should set a deadline in March for students to submit entries for Club level contests.
