Since 2005, one piano student participating in the Festival has been chosen by the adjudicator to receive this prestigious award of excellence in memory of Lynda Rehde Kennedy. The $250 cash award is sponsored by Neil Kennedy.
Nancy Hughes Memorial Award (New)
This cash award of $100 will be given to a student participating in both Strings and Piano Disciplines, (solos, duets or ensembles).

The student with the highest combined total will win the award. This award is in memory of Nancy Hughes and is sponsored by Jones Music Studios.
