Each year, Vocal Arts DC has holds a vocal competition open to all singers who are residents of the greater DC area, including Baltimore and Annapolis, as well as Pennsylvania and Delaware. Singers are asked to submit a CD for review along with a sample program that the singer is prepared to perform in recital. The CDs will be reviewed in a blind audition. From there, finalists will be selected for a live audition. The first prize winner will receive $7,000 and will be presented in recital by Vocal Arts DC in a prestigious Washington, DC venue during the spring of 2016. The second prize winner will receive $3,000 and will also receive an opportunity to be presented as part of a Washington, DC recital.
Finalists will be notified in mid-April, and final auditions will be held on the Foggy Bottom campus of George Washington University on May 14, 2016 between late morning and mid-afternoon.
Singers interested in entering the competition should download the form online at
