1) Read the complete competition rules and submit the online application.

2) Note-Part of #1 involves submitting your proposed competition repertoire for approval. Your application will not be considered complete until you have received a response from the Juneau Symphony approving your proposed repertoire. Although the application deadline is February 26th, we strongly encourage potential contestants to apply as early as possible to confirm approval of your repertoire. 

Costs of the competition are absorbed by the Juneau Symphony, and no entry fees are charged to participants. Participants are required to secure a piano accompanist and are responsible for their cost.
