Welcome to our sixth-annual student music competition where you pick the winners! The Sing and Play ‘24 Showcase features instrumental and vocal acts with a $50 prize awarded for the best performance in each of three age-based competitions: elementary, middle school and high school.

Acts may be solos or ensembles of up to four people, with all performers being full-time students in a North Carolina public, private or home school. Competing acts were selected by open auditions, with winners of the showcase competition determined by audience vote.

🎟️ General admission for the Sing and Play Showcase competition is $5 per person and includes one vote in each category. Tickets will be sold at the door. All proceeds will be used by JMArts to help student artists excel and reduce the cost to student artists traveling on JM's annual New York Arts Adventure.
