How were the winners of these awards chosen? Does VO hold a competition that the public could attend to see these singers compete for these awards?

The Bursaries are awarded by the Vancouver Opera Foundation and all of the awards have specific requirements and conditions.

There is no competition for the Bursaries. The Artistic Staff (administrative, music, education, when appropriate production) come together and discuss singers or other artists (the bursaries are not all specific to singers) who would qualify for a Bursary.

After a consensus on each award has been reached, the recommendations are sent to the Board of the Vancouver Opera Foundation who make the final decision on who will receive a Bursary award.

If we have nominations of singers we think should qualify for one of the bursaries based on sing them perform several times who can we contact?

The bursaries all have very specific requirements and conditions and as such the company does not currently accept nominations for bursaries. The bursaries are awarded by the Vancouver Opera Foundation and are based on recommendations made by the Artistic Administration department.
