What is the Overture Awards?
The Overture Awards Scholarship Competition is the largest locally run arts scholarship competition in the country. Annually, the program provides a $2,500 scholarship to six area high school students in six artistic disciplines, in addition, 18 finalists each receives a $500 scholarship. Each year, more than 475 students are nominated by their schools to compete in one of six artistic disciplines: Creative Writing, Dance, Instrumental Music, Theater, Visual Art or Vocal Music.
The Overture Awards was developed to recognize, encourage and reward excellence in the arts among Tri-state students in grades 9-12. It also provides students an opportunity to share their talents and interests among their peers in a supportive environment outside of their individual schools. Now in its 14th year, The Overture Awards was launched in 1996 by the Cinergy Foundation and Leadership Cincinnati (a Greater Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce program).
