Awards & Winners' Showcase

The Winners' Showcase Information

Winners and Associates will appreciate that there are many considerations in preparing and implementing the Showcase. Special requests in all matters regarding the Showcase can be made to the Society, and due consideration will be paid. It shall remain the exclusive purview of the Showcase Director and/or the Society to make any changes to the Showcase program and performance schedule.

Five tickets are included in the Showcase Fee, and can be distributed at the discretion of each Winner. Winners themselves do not require a ticket. Extra tickets may be purchased at the Carnegie Hall website.

2015 Winners

All Winners are responsible for their own expenses which include travel, accommodation, transport, medical insurance, etc.

“Well-timed silence
hath more eloquence than speech.”
— Martin Fraquhar Tupper

Information packages will be provided to Winners in advance of travel. Winners are expected to arrive at least 24 hours prior to the start of the Showcase, and shall inform the Society of their arrival.

It shall be within the Society's purview to demand confirmation and documentation of the Winner's and/or any Travel Companion's ability to attend the Showcase, such as government-issued identification.

Winners' Certificates, awards and recognition will be given only to the performing winners who stay until the end of the Showcase recital. No certificates or special awards will be mailed. Winners who choose not to perform at the Winners' Showcase for any reason shall be disqualified and shall forfeit any award, certificate, or recognition deemed by the Society as worthy to bestow.

Winners are also not allowed to perform at the Showcase if the payment and required forms are not sent to the Society by the postmark deadline (refer to Step Two in the application and payment process for payment and deadline).


Visa supporting letters for international participants of the Winners' Showcase:

We will supply a letter confirming a Winner's invitation to perform at the Showcase for the border authorities if needed by the Winner for an extra fee of $100.00 USD. Only one accompanying parent/guardian can be included in the visa letter. We do not guarantee that the issuance of the letter would guarantee the granting of US Visa. Letters will be issued in electronic format only.
