     A Young Artists Competition offers talented young musicians from the six adjoining southeastern states a wonderful opportunity to perform before recognized judges and a public audience. This program was initiated in 1996. Awards are presented for first place ($1,500 and the opportunity to perform as a featured soloist with the LaGrange Symphony Orchestra), a second place award of $1,000 and a third place award of $500. The Barbara Malis Award is also given through a grant from the LaGrange Woman's Club to a contestant who resides in Troup County.

     Since 2004, the SCALA (Student Competition Awards in the LaGrange Area) competition has been held for students who live within a 50 mile radius of LaGrange in the categories of strings, winds, keyboard/percussion, and voice. Cash awards are presented to the winners at a recital, open to the public, given each year.
