“Winning the JTVA Competition was one of the best days of my career. I was in a place where I needed exactly this kind of support, financially and spiritually. I not only felt accomplished and recognized that day, I felt genuinely cheered on to go take the next steps. I felt cared for as an artist and a human being from the application process to the afterglow.”
OUR MISSION
The primary emphasis of JTVA is on an annual vocal competition to support singers at the earliest stages of their professional development with financial awards, performance opportunities, master classes, and encouragement to follow their dreams.
The competition awards prizes to all singers, with no specific age or educational requirements, these singers are distinguished primarily by level of ability, vocal experience, and potential for a professional career. All finalists receive a cash award.
