The New Jersey Jazz Society has launched its new Juried Scholarship Competition 2022. This competition will award a $1,000 prize in each of two categories: Classic Jazz and Original Composition. The competition is open to all college students currently enrolled in a New Jersey college undergraduate music program.
Along with the cash award, winners will receive guidance, mentorship, and the opportunity to perform with an industry professional. The winners will also receive coverage in Jersey Jazz Magazine.
Submission deadline is: 11:59 p.m., EST, Thursday, March 31, 2022. For details, visit: https://njjs.org/scholarshipprogram/.
The New Jersey Jazz Society is currently observing its 50th year of presenting, promoting, and preserving jazz. The scholarship initiative, generously supported by Nan Hughes Poole, was created in celebration of that history.
