Hello I am an arising Junior looking for competitions for high school composers to put on my resume. I’m looking into competitions because my grades aren’t fantastic and I think my artistic merit is going to have to go a long way. My current GPA is 3.0 unweighted, 3.4 weighted. My grades slipped last year and I was unable to participate in any summer programs due to having to deal with medical issues. I will be bringing my grades back up and will participating in a summer composition program this next summer. I was wondering if anyone knew of composition contest for high schoolers that A) perform your work B) give you a recording of your work, and C) look nice on a college resume. I take lessons at a local university with one of their professors who is an Eastman alumni, and will have his help with any of my musical endeavors.

Thank you for your time and help in advance!
