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).
