State Federation Awards

State Junior Convention Awards

The Florida State Junior Convention will be held at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville this year on May 6 and 7, 2005. Unlike the district festival, this event is competitive. Students under 19 years of age as of March 1 of the Festival year who have received a Superior rating at their individual district festivals can participate in that event. A trophy may be awarded to the winner of each event; those receiving honorable mention are awarded a ribbon. If interested in competing at the State level, keep an ear tuned for updates. In addition, FFMC, Inc. offers monetary awards and scholarships:
