The idea for a new contest in Alberta was conceived around the dinner table by a group of young fiddle players who were inspired by the Canadian Grand Masters Fiddling Championship visiting Alberta in 2016. A year later, the dream became a reality and now they welcome the finest fiddlers from across Western Canada and beyond to showcase their skills and compete for generous prizes!
Calvin Vollrath MC's the event, with Allison granger, Daniel gervais, and Lucas Welsh as judges. Categories include Junior 12 & under, Youth 17 & under, Adult 18 – 54, Senior 55+, and the Open Category for any age. $5,500.00 Prize Money and awards for 1st - 5th place for Age Categories and 1st - 6th place for the Open Category. Concession available.
