Website updates will be posted soon.

Hellam Competition Update. 8 semi-finalists have uploaded their performance of the entire work entered originally.
The adjudication will be completed by March 15,2021. Notification of winners to follow.

There will be no live semifinalists performances in Springfield Missouri on February 27, 2021 due to the pandemic. Semifinalists will be informed of the procedure to follow in the near future.
Please stay safe.

Because the pandemic canceled the April 2020 semi-finals of the competition, we plan on holding them on February 27, 2021.
Therefore, a new 2021 Hellam Competition will not be held.
And the semi-finals in February will depend on the pandemic conditions at that time.

Assuming Covid-19 is not still around, the canceled 2020 Hellam Young Artists' Competition will take place on February 27, 2021.

Due to the coronavirus, the Hellam Young Artists' Competition has been canceled.
