YOUNG ARTIST COMPETITION
for full time high school and college students

The Atlanta Flute Club announces its twenty-first annual Young Artist competition. The competition is open to full-time high school and college students who have not reached their thirtieth (30th) birthday. Applicants must be members of the Atlanta Flute Club (applicants, your membership fee will be automatically added to your application fee at checkout). A preliminary recorded AUDIO ONLY audition is required (for file naming and sharing instructions, click here). A committee will judge the preliminary audition, and three finalists will be chosen to compete at the AFC Flute Fair in 2021. Prizes are as follows:
First place - $1200
Second place - $500
Third place - $250
The three finalists will compete at the 2021 Flute Fair, each presenting a 25-30 minute program of their own choice. Finalists will be notified by February 1.
The first place winner will be featured in recital at the 2022 Flute Fair. Please note that finalists will be required to register for the 2021 Flute Fair.
The deadline for preliminary recorded audition submission is January 15, 2021, and there is a $50 application fee due upon submission in addition to a $25 membership fee for 2021.
*Due to COVID-19 related complications, piano accompaniment is encouraged but not required.
