As a part of its efforts to encourage the next generation, the Center for Church Music offers two biennial awards open to students in any Lutheran college, university or seminary in the U. S. and Canada.
Purposed to cultivate interest in the music and the visual art of the Church, these competitions are carefully juried, not only selecting a winner but also offering individual critique and direction for these budding composers and artists.
Each award brings a $1,000 cash prize and public presentation and recognition of the student’s work.
