Pageant of the Arts Program Notes

Rotary's District 5280 Pageant of the Arts Program—chaired by our very own Lance Miller, President of Lance Miller Speaking—provides our local high school students the opportunity to display their talents and compete with other students for recognition and monetary prizes.

Students gain valuable experience as well as exposure to University Deans and professors as well as significant professionals in a variety of community fine art disciplines.

This program also provides Rotary to have an opportunity to connect more significantly with the community through public and private schools, churches, performing arts and art studios, YMCA, YWCA, The Salvation Army, theater groups and community centers.

Areas of competition include SPEECH, MUSIC, ART, and DANCE.

Prizes will be awarded in each area of competition at the District 5280 Competition to be held on March 10 at Loyola Marymount. 

  • 1st place - $1,000
  • 2nd place -  $500
  • 3rd place - $250.00

District competitors are selected from local Rotary Clubs throughout the District who conduct their Club's independent competition. LA5's 1st place award students advance to the District Competition.
