The UVA Flute Forum Competition
The UVA Flute Forum Collegiate Competition is a free competition open to any undergraduate student currently enrolled at a college or university who is taking applied flute lessons (entrants do not need to be music majors, but must be enrolled in collegiate flute lessons at the time of the competition). Up to three winners will be selected to perform in a masterclass for Alexa Still at the eleventh annual University of Virginia Flute Forum on Saturday, October 17, 2026 in Charlottesville, Virginia.
