Annual Student Competition

The Chicago Flute Club began holding an Annual Student Competition in 1992. In the early years, (1992, 1994-1997), the competition had only one division, open to students high school age or younger. The division of the Student Competition into Junior and Senior divisions commenced in 1998, and another split (Elementary, Junior, and Senior) occurred in 2005. The Senior Division is for students 12th grade or younger, the Junior Division is for students 9th grade or younger, and the Elementary Division is for students 6th grade or younger.
