Requirements

Eligible to apply are 1) graduating high school seniors planning to major in music in college; and 2) freshmen music majors at an accredited college, university, or school of music.

Both instrumentalists and vocalists may compete.

Those who entered as high school seniors and did not win first place are eligible to enter again as college freshmen.

Each entrant must submit an audition tape or CD, from which 10 instrumentalist finalists and 10 vocalist finalists are selected.

Finalists audition in person.

They must perform a composition of concert quality, up to 5 minutes in length, sight read selections chosen by the judges, and perform technical exercises.

They must also submit a statement that they intend to make music performance or teaching a central part of their future life.

Selection is based on talent in any field of applied music; the competition is not intended to select Glenn Miller lookalikes or sound-alikes.

Applicants selected as finalists on the basis of their audition tapes are responsible for their own transportation expenses to go to Clarinda to perform at the auditions.
