SCHOLARSHIPS / AWARDS
Our thanks to the many sponsors who every
year continue to give their support to
the Murwillumbah Festival of Performing Arts
Inc.
An award of $2,000 biennially is donated by the family of the late ALTON JAMES HAROLD BUDD for singers
aged 18-35 years inclusive. This award must be used for payment of fees to an
accredited teacher. If, in the judgement
of the Adjudicator, the standard of performance is not sufficiently high enough
to warrant the award, it may not be presented. The Adjudicator’s decision is
final. THIS
