It’s not too early to start thinking about what ballad to sing! Make sure your ballad tells a story with a plot and an ending. Make sure your ballad is so old that nobody knows who wrote it, or make sure your ballad is at least 100 years old. You must sign up ahead so Contest Organizers Karen Haffner and Lynn Feingold can review your choice of ballad. Here are the categories for this year:
Grade 4 Through High School
Solo performer WITHOUT instrument $50 cash prize
Solo performer WITH instrument $50 cash prize
Group (2 or more) WITHOUT instrument $100 cash prize
Group (2 or more) WITH instrument(s) $100 cash prize
After High School Through Age 25
Solo or group, with/without instrument(s) – $50 cash prize
