The first round is screened with video submission for the KAMSA orchestra audition. Contestants who advance to the final round will be notified via email. The final round is an in-person competition.
The winner will participate in all sectionals and rehearsals, and perform their solo piece with the orchestra during the 2026 KAMSA concert.

Note: Once contestants qualify for the final round, they can accept their spots by submitting a separate application with a non-refundable fee of $60.
