1998

By 1998 the competition found its footing and begun building a reputation for excellence. Competitors from previous years returned for another chance at the grand prize; the Honors Audition opened to include the entire Four-State area, and more community outreach led to larger prizes and greater support. The informational booklet grew to include letters from governors and proclamations from the mayors of Joplin and Carthage while also providing further information on previous years’ competitions and fundraising events. Overall, the competition was successful in building community relations between international performers and local supporters.
