The Hollis Prize is the highest honor given to a vocal or instrumental performer at Millikin University.
First awarded in 2003, the Hollis Prize represents the highest form of recognition bestowed upon a vocal or instrumental performer at Millikin University. The Hollis prize is unique among undergraduate music competitions for its recital performance format and rigorous audition process.
Students compete in a semi-final round for the chance to perform before a live audience in the Competition Recital. The winner of this recital receives a monetary award of $3,000 and an opportunity to perform a solo Winner’s Recital at the Gail Borden Public Library in Elgin, Ill.; runners-up receive cash awards of $1,000 & $500.
The annual competition is made possible by Dr. C. Kimm Hollis, a 1972 Millikin graduate and retired department chair, Professor of Music, and Artist in Residence Emeritus at Hanover College in Hanover, IN.
