2025 High School Piano Competition Registration

Registration for the 2025 High School Piano Competition is open to piano students currently enrolled in grades 10 through 12. Those who are or have been a student of an OSU piano faculty member may enter for a critique but are ineligible to win. A First Place Winner is ineligible to win the next year's competition but may enter for a critique only.

Each contestant must perform from memory two solo works from contrasting style periods. Performance length will be a minimum of five minutes and a maximum of twelve minutes. Please omit repeats in sonata movements. Supply one copy of all music, with the measures numbered, for the judges, noting that photocopies are prohibited. Contestants may not repeat repertoire previously performed in the competition.

Registrations must be made online or postmarked by Monday, January, 20, 2025. The schedule for performance times, as well as instructions for the day, will be emailed to each teacher and student on Monday, January 27, 2025.

Each entrant will receive a Certificate of Merit as well as comment sheets written by the members of the OSU piano faculty, who will judge the Competition. Winning students who are seniors will be recommended for a piano major scholarship at OSU.

After adding this item to your cart, you will be directed to the online registration form. Please be ready to list your repertoire along with contact information for yourself and your teacher.
