Submit a compilation or live video of your pre-collegiate jazz ensemble performing a piece of jazz music for your group’s chance to win a private virtual clinic or masterclass (director’s choice) with the legendary Bob Mintzer - and a 52nd Street saxophone!
Only standard size, pre-collegiate school jazz ensembles (such as middle school, high school, comprehensive school, etc.) are eligible for entry; smaller groups such as combos, and professional groups, are excluded from entry. This is also a global competition, so ensembles from any country can enter.
This year introduced new challenges in practicing together as a group, so we encourage you to send a compilation video composed from individual virtual performances! We will accept videos from groups learning virtually, as well as in-person.
Videos entries can be submitted between January 8 - April 15, 2021. A panel of Eastman Artist Judges will close judging in early May and the winner will be announced on social media and e-mail.
Sign UpAfter signing up, you will receive reminders for entering your video, submission guidelines, and competition deadlines.
We respect your privacy.
So be sure to start practicing now!
