To be considered, you must be in U.S. grades 6-8 (or equivalent international study level) during the 2019-2020 school year and submit a complete electronic application, in which all required information - as well as all supplemental files (audition recording, etc.) - are submitted online.
How and When to Submit Your Materials
Required Application Materials
All applicants must complete the following steps:
All required components must be received on or before the application deadline (see below) for an application to be considered by our Selection Board.
Step 1: Complete Application Form
If you have received an Invitation Number, please be sure to include this on your application form; this number will allow us to determine whether you have already been nominated.
When completing your application form, you will be required to submit an application deposit ($200 US if completed application is submitted on or before December 4, 2019; increases to $295 US after December 4). Applicants must submit all required application materials on or before February 14, 2020, to be eligible for consideration for the 2020 Series. If you are not selected as a Junior Finalist, all but a $15 application review fee will be refunded—the application deposit is non-refundable for participants who withdraw after the final application deadline.
Once you have completed the online application process and submitted your audition deposit, you will receive your Customer Account Number on the Application Confirmation Page. Use this number as you submit the remaining application materials, so we can properly link these submissions to your application.

Provide more information about yourself and your musical background by completing the brief Performing Biography form. Please use your Customer Account Number, included in the confirmation email sent after completing the online application form (see above) so we can match your biography to your application.
