Being the first exclusive piano competition in the Kansas City area, the Ovation Young Artist Competition aims to create unique performance opportunities for those young musicians who wish to expand their goals in an attempt to reach a new height of achievement. In order to create the greatest experience possible for our competitors, we depend upon the financial support of those who appreciate the arts and wish to make these opportunities more accessible to today’s newest generation of performers. Your donation will go towards funding cash prizes to winners, reserving venues for performances, publicity expenses to promote the competition, travel and compensation of world-renowned jury members, and many other essential functions that go into making this competition possible. We are thrilled to have your increasingly important support to keep the arts thriving among today’s youth.
