Applicants must also submit a short personal statement (PDF, Word Document, or similar), no longer than 450 words, sharing how your passion for music has shaped your life. Describe your musical journey, highlighting key experiences, challenges overcome, and your vision for the future in the musical arts. Please also include your college of attendance and music major/minor. If you are currently in high school, please provide the name of the college you plan to attend and indicate the semester/quarter you will be starting. Please save the file as your first name, middle initial, last name, and instrument. For example, “Maria A. Smith, Trumpet” or “David M. Jones, Vocals”.

The entry form for your submission can be found below, with designated areas for your video performance link and personal statement.
