2025 SVMFA Awards
To qualify for an award in the Sask Valley Music Festival, participants must live, or study with a teacher who lives in the Sask Valley district. Participants must compete in at least two classes in the same discipline. At our district level, Musical Theatre and Vocal classes will be considered under the discipline of Vocal. Parent and Teacher are not eligible for awards in Duet classes.  

The alumni post-secondary scholarship is available to former competitors of SVMFA who do not meet the residency criteria (and thus are ineligible for any other award).  The alumni award is available to competitors for a maximum of 4 years.

All scholarships and trophies are awarded at the sole discretion of the adjudicator.
