HOW IT WORKS
Contestants enter online through our website. After all video submissions are collected, entries are narrowed to the top 20 submissions, then judges will pick the top 10 artists; then the public and the judges vote for the final top grand prize winner. The Seattle Chamber Music Society will additionally award an additional Special Commendation Award to the chamber ensemble.
