Challenge Awards
Marilyn Henry, Program Co-Director
If you enter any student in any program through
MMTA, you are already a participant in the
Challenge Award program. It is that simple. The
only missing step would be claiming the awards
for your students. How easy is that? You do not
have to register the student in any special way, or
jump through any hoops, other than to notify the
office of the awards your students have earned,
pay a small postage fee, and wait for the awards
to arrive at your door.
Did your students participate last year, but you
missed claiming the awards? Not to worry; the
points never expire. Points began accruing with
activities beginning in November of 2010. There
is no deadline for you to claim the awards. Just
keep track what each student earns throughout
their years with you so they can continue to
work toward the trophy.
Certification for all
participants!! Alexander
Braginsky and Paul
Shaw, University of MN -
Minneapolis faculty, will
judge the final round.
Finalists will receive jury
comments & diplomas.
Also, 9 winners will
receive trophies and
Schmitt Music gift cards
with winner's recital.
