From those chosen, we will select one winner. The finalists and winner will be REQUIRED to attend our April meeting (April 21, 2018 at 11am in Dallas, Texas) and give a performance to receive their award. Any collegiate members of South Central 2 are invited to join us for lunch, or give a performance as well.
