ACDA Student Conducting Competition
by Jeffery R. Thyer (July 23, 2008 3:36 AM)

The ACDA Student Conducting Awards were initiated during the 1993 National Convention in San Antonio, Texas. We again offer this highly successful event at the 2009 National Convention in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The Student Conducting Awards are now funded through ACDA’s Endowment Trust. The objectives of the Student Conducting Awards are three-fold:

  1. To acknowledge and reward outstanding graduate and undergraduate student conductors;
  2. To encourage score preparation and advancement of conducting and rehearsal skills; and
  3. To promote student activity at the National Convention.

These cash prizes are awarded to the winners of the final round of the conducting awards:

  • First Prize, Graduate Level: $1000
  • Second Prize, Graduate Level: $500
  • First Prize, Undergraduate Level: $500
  • Second Prize, Undergraduate Level: $250.

In addition, the sixteen semi-finalists (up to eight undergraduate and eight graduate) each receive a $200 scholarship funded by corporate sponsors to defray costs to attend the National Convention. Applicants must meet the following criteria:

  • Hold valid ACDA student membership.
  • Be a full-time undergraduate student (junior or senior status) or a full-time graduate student at a college or university in the United States at the time of application.
  • Submit a complete application portfolio.

Click here to view and print the complete application guidelines, eligibility requirements and the official application form. Application postmark deadline: October 31, 2008.
