KVNO has been honoring students who play, sing or compose for over twenty years. Each monthly Classical Kid receives a $300 scholarship from the Soener Foundation.

Nomination Guidelines:
To be eligible, the student must be between the ages of 8-13 and studying an instrument, taking voice lessons or singing in a choir, playing in a band or an orchestra, composing or conducting.
A parent, relative, friend, or a music teacher may nominate the student.
The student must live within the signal range of Classical 90.7 KVNO.
No student may win the award more than once, but music teachers may nominate more than one student and nominate a student more than one time.

Students who do not win the award may apply again after six months, provided they still meet the qualifications.

Blind judging takes place quarterly following the schedule below:
December 8 – 19
