The Review and Contest is an annual event sponsored by RAFA to further the education of RAFA member flutists. It is an opportunity for flutists of all levels of playing ability to perform for professionals who provide written comments and suggestions for improvement. Students (grades 1 through 12 or at least half-time students in college or graduate school) may enter the Review or Contest; and adults may enter the Adult Review. Each participant performs two pieces for evaluation by two judges.
Contest participants compete against other flutists in the same division and grade level. Student contest winners receive prizes of scholarship money and have the option to be featured in the RAFA Student Showcase at the RAFA Flute Fair.
Adult flutists (and students who choose not to compete in the contest portion) may enter the Review, where they receive written evaluation but are not eligible for scholarship prizes.
Congratulations to our 2020 participants and thanks to our volunteers and judges for making the first virtual Review and Contest a success!

The 2020 RAFA Flute Fair, on Saturday, November 14, will also be a virtual event. We will waive the requirement that contest winners perform in the Student Showcase at the Flute Fair. Contest winners will have the option of preparing video recordings on their own that will be available for viewing during the Flute Fair, but this will not be a requirement for winners to receive their scholarship money.
