Only 10 More Days to the FINAL Deadline!

Reception in the foyer during the deliberation,

Plowman Chamber Music Competition is a national event that takes place first, ahead of other established competitions such as Coleman and Fischoff. Held in Columbia, Missouri. Plowman and its audiences have the privilege of being the first to listen and to discover the next great chamber ensemble.

We are 10 days away from the final deadline! So here are 10 reasons why you should consider submitting your DVD application today.

1. Three GREAT internationally esteemed judges.
   
2. Meet other ensembles of the same high level, with whom you will likely build invaluable working relationships in the near future.
3. A chance to perform a 45-min program in our community, Friday afternoon - pending your availability, Semi-Finalists.
4. Columbia Regional Airport has MUCH improved, both in price and in schedule. No more 2 hr-drive to/from St. Louis or Kansas City - unless that's your choice.
5. You will meet some of the nicest people working as volunteers, who will support you all the way to the Vianello Audience Prize.
6. You will visit one of the best collegiate towns in the U.S. *Disclaimer* We will also be on spring break = more parking for us!
   
7. Enjoy some of the best restaurants - and we have MANY.
8. Columbia is generally cost effective.
9. A rare chance to perform formally at the historic Missouri Theatre.
   
10. ...Of course, there is that "Over $10,000+ in Cash Awards."
11. This is necessary: Did we mention we provide water AND bananas??

Will we hear YOUR ensemble this year? We hope so!
