Competitions

The 2011 Native Rhythms Festival will once again conduct three separate competitions:

	Flute Makers' Competition: This competition pits some of the best flute makers against one another. Click here to proceed to the Flute Makers' Competition page to find the complete set of rules and the entry application for the Flute Makers' Competition.
	Flute Players' Competition: This competition allows players of differing experience levels, from beginners to advanced, to compete in a live "battle of the flute players."

	Artists' Competition: This is a competition first held at the 2010 Native Rhythms Festival to recognize the wondrous talent of the artists and craftspeople in the flute festival community. It was such a success that it will be once again sponsored in 2011. Artists in various media will compete in two categories: works with a Native American culture theme, and those with a nature/environment theme.

Entrant Recognition Awards

All Native Rhythms Festival competition entrants will receive a beautiful commemorative necklace with the flute-playing Kokopelli character from our event logo etched on authentic Jerusalem stone. These necklaces will look like the one in the photo at the left, except they will have the date '11 in the upper right-hand corner. These necklaces will be a limited run and strictly for our 2011 competition entrants.

These necklaces will be made by the Holy Land Stone Company, also a vendor at the Native Rhythms Festival. The Jerusalem stones used in these necklaces, and their other fine products, are imported directly from Israel and are certified to be authentic. By agreement with the makers, these necklaces will not be available for sale, guaranteeing their uniqueness for our competitors.

So, don't miss out on the '11 Native Rhythms Festival competitors' necklace. All you need do is enter the Flute Makers' or Flute Players' or Artists' Competition and you'll have this beautiful keepsake.

Competition Awards

Winners in the Native Rhythms Festival Flute Makers', Flute Players', and Artists' Competitions will be awarded unique, custom trophies as specified in the rules for the individual competitions.
