The SEIMA Project (Inspiring Local Music) is an arts endowment grant created to give young musicians 14 to 19 years of age a helping hand to achieve their dreams and goals.

The participants may be an instrumentalist and/or a vocalist. They must also be a resident of Dearborn, Franklin, Ohio, Ripley or Switzerland Counties in Indiana to enter.

All participants need to fill out the SEIMA Project application on www.seimusic.org and supply a performance video (a cell phone video is perfectly fine). Upload your performance video to YouTube or other sharable video platform then send the link with the application. The deadline for SEIMA Project 2026 is March 31 at midnight.

Since 2022, The SEIMA Project has awarded over $12,000 to young musicians in the community and is proud to invest in the future of music, in our community.
