2010 S&R Washington Award

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

The S&R Foundation is seeking candidates for its 2010 S&R Washington Award.  I am writing to ask if you would please encourage any talented young musicians or artists you know to consider applying for the Award.

Attached please find the Washington Award Flyer that you can forward to those you believe would qualify.   Please also visit the Foundation’s webpage atwww.sandr.org

The S&R Foundation grants the Washington Award to young artists in the fields of music, fine arts, drama, dance, photography, and film who have not attained an advanced level of recognition in their artistic discipline in the United States or Japan.  Awardees receive a $5,000 cash prize.

The Award is especially intended to encourage those artists whose activities take place in the United States and Japan, or whose specialties contribute to mutual understanding between the two countries.

The deadline for applications is October 1. 2010.

Any help you can provide in increasing awareness of the Washington Award among young talented artists would be greatly appreciated.  For further details please email washingtonaward@sandr.org or call the Foundation Office at 240-223-0630
