Each year, our panel of professional musicians awards three California music students monetary awards to further their jazz education and music programs. The winners are also hired throughout the coming year to perform at JATB events. All applicants are invited to free concerts and workshops throughout the school year.
​
The competition is open to high school jazz instrumentalists in California.
Three winners will be picked by a panel of professional jazz musicians based on their submissions and awarded $500 each to further their music studies as well as hired for at least three paid performances as part of JATB events. The total value of the award is $1000.
The students that aren’t finalists are invited to join a database of students invited to free workshops.
Applicant must be currently enrolled in a California high school program between the ages of 14-18.
