Competition Description
- Each year Arts Culture Catawba conducts a Young Artist Competition to select outstanding young artists from Catawba County. In order to encourage participation from all arts disciplines, the competition will alternate annually between artists in the performing arts and artists in the visual and literary arts. This year’s competition will be for Visual and Literary Artists. In most cases, evennumbered years will be for the Performing Arts and odd-numbered years will be for the Visual and Literary Arts.
- A panel of judges from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts will make their recommendation for approval by the Arts Culture Catawba Board of Directors. Judges will seek to select a Young Artist Competition Winner, and First and Second Alternates. In the event that the judges feel that no individual merits receiving the award, no award will be given. In the event of a tie, the scholarship will be shared.
- Judges will reside outside of Catawba County, NC.
- Young Artist Competition Winners will receive a cash award from Arts Culture Catawba for further study in their arts discipline.
- The scholarship is educationally based for the best-qualified applicants to receive it and not necessarily for those who give the best presentation or performance.
- All qualified applicants are entitled to equal opportunity in the Young Artist Competition
- The timetable for receiving applications, auditions (performing arts applicants only) and announcement of the competition winners will be determined annually.
