CHAPTER AWARDS
The National Career Award
is given annually in a nationally announced competition in a
specifically chosen discipline. The Chapter's winner goes on to
compete in a national competition, against other local chapter winners,
at the Annual Convention, usually held in May, at some inspiring
location around the country.
In addition to the required National Career Award,
the Washington Chapter generally conducts competitions for the Winston
Scholarship national award program in art and voice. Winners get a
chapter award with the right to compete at the national level for
additional prize money.
The Washington Chapter often gives additional awards
in one or more of the following categories. Generally, a specific
specialty is the focus, as shown by examples in parentheses.
-
Art (watercolor,
sculpture, oil painting, fabric art, jewelry design, architecture)
-
Drama (acting,
playwriting, comedic acting, TV scriptwriting)
-
Dance (ballet, modern
dance)
-
Literature (poetry, short
story)
-
Music (vocal performance,
piano, other instruments, conducting)
These Washington Chapter Awards are funded through
one of the many funds designated by named donors. For a list, see
