Square, PA. The competition is limited to sixteen gifted young

The auditions are open to the public and are free of charge. Each of
the young musicians will be judged by a panel of professional
musicians. Three prizes will be awarded - first prize provides a
$500 cash award and the opportunity for a solo performance with
the Kennett Symphony, second prize is $300, and third prize is $100.
Funding for the competition is provided in part through the

Charities.
