WHAT IS A FIDDLE CONTEST? Fiddlers gather to compete against other fiddlers in their age group. Most fiddlers use it as a reason to practice so they get better! It is truly fascinating to watch the fiddlers take the stage. Typically they begin their contest preparation in January and learn several tunes then choose the tunes that sound the best and that they enjoy playing the most. Some of the top national fiddlers, as well as many state and regional champions, will be competing. Participants are judged, and earn awards based on their performance.
