Lee Ritenour's 6 String Theory Competition

In this contest, musicians submit videos for a chance to perform at a number of festivals and venues including NAMM in Las Vegas, Blue Note in Tokyo and Festival Da Jazz in Switzerland, among others.

Applicants must be considered “non-professional musicians,” so while they can teach classes or play at local spots, they can’t make their entire financial income from music-related work. Registrations are accepted in guitar, piano, bass or drums. Six winners will be selected from guitars, one each from piano, bass and drums.

Registrations are open through May 31. Nine winners will be announced the second week of June 2018 and travel will begin in the summer.

Registration costs $25 through March 15, 2018. Registration is $35 from March 16 to May 31, 2018.
