INFORMATION:<\/td>\n	The purpose of the contest is to promote excellence in music research and publications.<\/p>\n Students pick one of two topics for their grade level (grades one through college) and write an essay designed to explore and analyze the topic in an original, engaging way. Each article is judged at the local level and then the selected articles are judged at the state level. Judges award \u201cWinner\u201d and \u201cOutstanding\u201d articles which are published in the TMTA SA Publication Contest Book.<\/p>\n Winners receive certificates and cash awards. After a student\u2019s paper is judged at the local level, the paper will be sent back to the student. If it is deemed qualified to progress to the state level, the student will have an opportunity to make corrections based on the judge\u2019s comments before being submitted. For more information, please go to the TMTA Handbook.<\/p>\n  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
