This year, I noticed that the Piano Explorer did not specify the age brackets for their composition contest. So, I emailed the editor and asked her a few specific questions about this and other things. Here is her response:
Question #1:
Are there age divisions in the contest this year?
Answer:
In general, there are age divisions, typically 10 and under and 11 and up. We cannot guarantee this will be the dividing line, but it has been for the past ten years.
Question #2
What are the prizes for the winners?
Answer:
There are monetary prizes for first, second, and third place – all typically under $100.
