The College of Fine Arts is pleased to announce the newly-created Pamela Phillips Oland Excellence in the Art of Writing Lyrics Award.
“This competition seeks to develop and promote the craft of songwriting across the disciplines of music, theater, and dance. We are so pleased to steward this worthwhile endeavor within the College of Fine Arts," said CFA dean Nancy J. Uscher.
All those interested are invited to apply. Applicants, emerging and mid-career artists who have focused careers on the writing of lyrics within a range of art forms, are asked to submit a C.V., two examples of lyrics writing, a personal statement about how this award will help advance an individual's career, and how it is in alignment with future career goals and aspirations. Deadline for submissions is April 17. The winner will be named in May.
