See the rising stars in Howard County’s artist community at our annual gala and vote on your favorite!
Each year, we choose up to 10 rising stars to compete for our $5,000 Rising Star Award. The competition is open to performers, both individuals and ensembles (up to four members), ages 18-35, who live, train, work or perform regularly in Howard County or have done so in the past. Be part of the excitement as our Celebration of the Arts audience votes on the winner — live, during the event!
