We are currently granting two $5000 awards, one for a graduate level student, and one for an undergrad.
Application deadline is February 21, 2026. Judging will be Saturday, February 28, 2026.
We typically conduct in-person judging on a Saturday in February with applicant rehearsals scheduled on the Friday before. Applicants need to be enrolled in any undergraduate or graduate degree program and will need to submit a letter of nomination from organ or church music faculty at an accredited school.
Winners return to give a full concert and receive their reward later in the year, typically the third Saturday of either October or November.
