Note from Janet Plucknett, Competition Chair
No new applications were accepted for 2021. We will hear our 2020 Semi-Finalists virtually and plan to have the Finals in person in August, 2021. Details will be posted.
Applications for the 2022 competition will be on our website in October. Hopefully we will be able to return to our normal schedule.
