Thank you for your video submissions for our 2021 competition.

The Jean McCulloch Memorial Junior Piano Competition is made possible through the generous donation of Regina piano teacher Jean McCulloch. This competition recognizes the hard work and talent of Saskatchewan piano students working in grades three through eight. It will hopefully be a stepping-stone for students into the SRMTA senior level competitions. The Competition is held in a different location in the province each year.

In the event that there are not enough entries, the competition will be cancelled, and the adjudicator and competitors will be notified by April 20, 2021.

NOTE: The competition will be held “virtually” in 2021. Verbal adjudications and the presentation of awards will take place for competitors on Zoom on Saturday, May 29, 2021 hosted by the North Battleford SRMTA branch. Time: 1 PM. Detailed instructions on how to upload video submissions can be found here.

The deadline for video submissions is May 14, 2021. Our adjudicator for 2021 will be Naomi Piggott Suchan.
