The Competition is open to all young singers aged 17 – 28 years and details for the 2022 Competition will be posted late March / early April.
The Finals of the Competition take place in August in a Finale Concert, this year on Tuesday 16 August.
First Prize is $1500, with the Runner-Up receiving $400.
The Concert is performed before an audience of Clef Music Club Members and members of the general public. It’s a gala occasion for us and audience members also have the opportunity to make their own judgement with a non-monetary “Audience Choice” prize going to the contestant voted as most popular among audience members.
Competition entry forms are available below or by emailing anneshanksnz@gmail.com
Our 2021 Competition took place on the very eve of the August lockdown, so was impacted by the last-minute withdrawal of some contestants.
However, it was nevertheless a successful and enjoyable evening.
