BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — Nominations are now open for the Palm Beach Symphony’s annual Randolph A. Frank Prize for the Performing Arts. This prestigious program honors local talent by selecting up to three winners across three distinct categories: Performing Artist, Performing Arts Educator, and Emerging Artist. A total of $10,000 in prize money will be distributed among the winners to recognize their dedication to the cultural landscape of the region.
The prize is designed to reward individuals who enrich Palm Beach County through music, dance, or theater. Eligibility is open to all established and emerging artists and educators who regularly work within the county, regardless of their primary residence. Established in 2009 by Nancy and Jay Parker in memory of Dr. Randolph A. Frank, the award has been managed by the Palm Beach Symphony since 2019, continuing a legacy of supporting those who elevate the local arts community.
Interested parties may self-nominate or be nominated by a peer who can speak to their professional contributions. The application process requires a nomination letter detailing the candidate’s achievements and commitment to excellence, along with a resume, professional biography, and headshot. Additionally, applicants must provide one to three audio or visual samples of their work. Educators are also asked to provide a summary of their teaching experience and the impact they have had on their students.
The deadline for all submissions is Sunday, February 15. Materials should be emailed to Bryce Seliger, Education & Programming Associate, at bseliger@palmbeachsymphony.org. Following a review period, decisions will be announced by Friday, March 20, and the winners will be celebrated during an official award presentation scheduled for Sunday, May 17.
