The Adult Amateur level is only open to adults 18+ who are not enrolled in school. The College/Post-College division is open to everyone.

COMPETITION DETAILS & REGISTRATION

Accompanists will not be provided for the competition, so you must provide your own. Each flutist will perform for three judges. Repertoire will be provided for the judges, so there is no need to bring music for them. Memorization is not required, but is a nice touch for the recital, if selected to perform. Winners will be announced on February 23 at the 2019 Flute Festival. Each flutist may enter up to three pieces. The application fee is as follows:

For Primary & Novice divisions: $10 (1 piece); $15 (2 pieces); $20 (3 pieces)
