Application Procedure
All applications must be postmarked by March 2, 2009. 1. In the first paragraph of a one-page cover letter, indicate the ensemble's name, the category in which you are applying, and the artistic director of the group. Describe the significance of your programming or any aspects of your programs that you consider notable relative to this award. In the case of the Alice Parker Award include an explanation of how the work(s) you are submitting were an adventurous "stretch" for your organization. 2. Submit 5 sets of 8 1/2 x 11-inch photocopies of all 2007-08 printed concert programs your chorus presented; please use 3-hole punched paper. Submit only the list of pieces performed from the program book. Do not submit program notes, advertisements or performers' biographies. Do not submit duplicate concert programs for repeated concerts. If a program was performed more than once, indicate on the top right-hand corner of the photocopy how many times it was performed. The ensemble name and concert date should be visible on each photocopy; you may include an indication of the concert location. Please be sure that your photocopies are highly legible. Please arrange programs in chronological order. Do not bind the programs in any way. 3. On each photocopy, please mark an "X" to the left of those works composed since 1982 and indicate the date of composition. Be sure to indicate commissioned works and local or world premieres. 4. Submit only programs involving serious music. Please note: A copy of the cover letter should accompany each set of program materials. The letter and the program materials should be on 3-hole punched paper. Award Categories The categories for 2009 are as follows. Please note these carefully in order to apply in the correct category. The winners in each of these categories will receive an engraved plaque and $1,000.
