Nomination Form
(Deadline: September 30, 2024)

• Name
• Grade
• Student email
• Voice type
• Musicianship (required): Distinctive accolades such as Solo & Ensemble performance awards or participation in other honor ensembles.

All nomination forms are confidential for OWU festival staff only.

Music teachers should verify in advance that all nominated students and their parents are interested and committed to participate in all music festival activities.

Teachers will be notified of acceptance via email the first week in October to allow them an opportunity to personally inform their students of acceptance. Permission Forms & Payment Instructions will be sent out that week along with practice parts.

Music teachers are the primary communicator to relay festival info to students and families! Many emails sent to parents or students end up fire-walled, junked, or sent to an incorrect address.
