2021 MTNA Competitions

Due to the ongoing uncertainties of the Pandemic, the 2021 MTNA Competitions will be by Video Only. There will not be a live competition this year at the State Level in Virginia. Most states are holding online MTNA competitions this year.

Like last year, the registration process is a two-step process:

  1. Complete your Registration ONLINE on the MTNA Website:
    https://www.mtna.org/MTNA/Engage/Competitions/Competitions_Guidelines.aspx

    The MTNA Registration Deadline for all states is Sep. 15, 2021 at 3 pm ET.
    Please do not send videos with your registration. That is a separate process. (See #2.)

  2. Send in your videos separately. You will not be submitting your video to the MTNA Website.
    The Video Submission Deadline for the MTNA Competitions is November 1, 2021 at 11:59 pm.
    Important: If you intend to enter the MTNA Competitions and plan to send in your videos, you must first submit your online registration by Sep. 15.
    All Entrants will be sent complete instructions for sending videos.

    • Note that you will record each piece separately, including recording each movement separately. (The one exception to this is a Prelude and Fugue, which may be recorded in a single video.)
    • Complete video instructions will be sent to you after we receive your registration.

In the meantime, if you have any questions about the MTNA Competitions, please contact Dr. Lise Keiter, MTNA State Competitions Chair for Virginia (LKeiter@marybaldwin.edu).

Other reminders:

  • Please note that every state sets its own video deadline. The above deadline is for the Virginia MTNA Competitions.
  • Also, please note that this information is for the MTNA Competitions only.

We look forward to receiving your registration!
