This cash award of $250 is given to a Grade 12 high school student who is pursuing their studies, in the following school year, in music education in any discipline at a university or college level. This award is to encourage students to further their studies and become our future music teachers. Please indicate a note “pursuing music education” upon registration.

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 recipient will be determined by combining their highest mark from one of their piano classes with the highest mark from one of their piano classes. 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.

This award is presented to honour the memory of a long-time volunteer with the Festival, Trish Schweitzer. Each year this award will be given to one of our volunteers to recognize their service.
