Each year, the National Capital Region Music Festival recognizes the talent, dedication, and hard work of hundreds of young musicians through an extensive program of trophies and scholarships.

Participants have the opportunity to earn one of our many prestigious trophies, each celebrating outstanding achievement in its discipline. Trophy winners have their names permanently engraved, creating a lasting record of their accomplishments and becoming part of the Festival's proud history.

Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of our donors, sponsors, and community supporters, the Festival also awards nearly $50,000 in scholarships annually. These scholarships help deserving musicians continue their musical education, pursue advanced studies, attend training programs, and invest in their artistic futures.

Our awards program reflects the Festival's commitment to encouraging excellence, celebrating achievement, and supporting the next generation of performers as they continue their artistic journeys.
