QYMA 2016 
We're excited to officially launch the Queensland Youth Music Awards 2016 Season! 

Thank you to everyone who was an integral part of the 2015 QYMA. We were delighted for your participation and hope you agree that the competition continues to grow, while providing an excellent platform for youngsters to explore their music! 

Now the countdown is on for next year, and we're pleased to provide what you need to know to register for the 2016 competition, beginning Monday 4 May.

Registrations are now open, with the closing date 7 March 2016.

We invite you to join us in making QYMA's 49th year the best one yet! 
To do this, we are looking to register as many entries as possible, while we also seek financial sponsorship to allow for prizes, venue hire and a number of other running costs to ensure QYMA remains viable well into the future! 

If you would like to assist, please don't hesitate to get in touch, or simply just spread the word! Details of how to be involved are in this newsletter. 

We look forward to hearing from you and bringing in 2016! 

Until next time...

that as a Talent Quest run by Ashgrove/The Gap Methodist Churches, it now caters for around 200 ensembles and choirs from different schools throughout South East Queensland. This makes the competition one of the largest school music eisteddfods in our state.
