The Vancouver Opera Guild Career Development Grant

VANCOUVER OPERA GUILD CAREER DEVELOPMENT GRANT
Deadline: April 15, 2004

The Vancouver Opera Guild will disburse Career Development Grant in
June 2004. This Grant will be available to Canadian Citizens and
those with Landed Immigrant status between the ages of 20 and 33.
This year's grant is for singers only. The purpose of the Grant is
to help people involved with opera, or those preparing for a career
in the operatic field, to improve their skills or to work on a
personal project related to opera. The Grant IS NOT available to
students for the completion of a music degree, but is designed to
assist those not yet fully established in a professional career.

Grant applications will be judged by a jury of three members of the
operatic/artistic community on the following points:
- potential of the applicant
- merit of the project
- artistic/operatic background

The Grant will be available at the start of the successful
candidate's
project. The recipient must send a report on the project to the
Vancouver Opera Guild not later than three months after its
completion.
