    Application Procedure and Rules

    • Applicants must be nominated to perform in the Music Showcase by their school music teacher or their private music teacher.  Teachers are asked to nominate the student(s) who are most deserving of this distinction and who have consistently demonstrated excellence in music performance.  From all official applicants, a group of finalists will be invited to perform in the Music Showcase competition.
    • Groups of five (5) or fewer members including the accompanist may participate.  Except for the accompanist of an act, only amateur talent may participate in the competition.  An amateur is one who has not signed a contract to receive payment or valuable compensation for performing the talent being submitted.  If this status is in question, the local screening committee authorized by the Kiwanis Club of Carrollton shall make a ruling in the case.
    • The nominees must complete an Application/Nomination Form.  All applications must be “received” no later than January 28, 2027.  The local screening committee will select the finalists who will be invited to perform.  Finalists will be notified of acceptance.  All finalists will compete for awards. An expert panel of judges will determine the winners (first five places) of the Music Showcase.  The decision of the judges will be final.  No Kiwanis Club member may serve as a judge.
    • Compositions shall not exceed four (4) minutes in performance time.  Performances that do not adhere to these time parameters will automatically be disqualified.  All compositions requiring accompaniment must be performed with an accompanist.  Contestants must bring their own accompanist. 
    • No recorded accompaniments are allowed.
