ABOUT JTVA
OUR MISSION
The primary emphasis of JTVA is on an annual vocal competition to support singers at the earliest stages of their professional development with financial awards, performance opportunities, master classes, and encouragement to follow their dreams.
OPEN TO ALL
The competition awards prizes to two groups of singers. Rather than specific age or educational requirements, these groups are distinguished primarily by level of ability, vocal experience, and readiness to begin a professional career. In some cases, singers may qualify and apply for both groups. All finalists receive a cash award.
SELECTION PROCESS
A preliminary panel of anonymous judges narrows the total number of applicants down to 40 - 50 semifinalists. Then, a second panel of judges works to select five Finalists in each Tier who will be invited to the Bay Area to participate in the summer Master Classes and Competition Finals.
