“It’s one of the highest paying competitions you can do in the U.S., but I’m most grateful to become part of the NSAL family…Even if you don’t place, to be surrounded by an arts organization that cares so much about fostering a strong sense of success in the youth of classical musicians in South Florida, it’s really rare and really special. I encourage anyone who is eligible to apply,” she said.

Every year the competition is different, and this year, the chapter is focusing on drama for ages 18 to 28 who aren’t currently represented by professional management.
