2026 OHHS Art and Design Overture Awards Nominees to Participate in Regional Competition

Posted on: December 10, 2025 10:00 am
The Overture Awards is a program that recognizes, encourages, and rewards excellence in the arts among Greater Cincinnati students in grades 9-12. Its mission is to encourage arts education as an integral part of a student’s academic experience and to create an environment that encourages training in, and appreciation of, the arts. The Overture Awards Competition is the area’s largest solo arts competition and offers awards in six artistic disciplines: creative writing, dance, instrumental music, theater, visual art, and vocal music. For the 2026 competition, students may win $3,000 (one awarded in each discipline) or a $1,000 finalist award. Judges at all levels of the competition are drawn from the professional arts community.
 

Best of luck in the Regional Competition to OHHS Art and Design students Lydia Wilson (nominated by Ms. Schorsch) and Maggie Heydon (nominated by Mrs. Dignan-Cummins) participating in this year’s competition:
