Congratulations 2024 Young Music Artist Winners!
Art Winners for 2024 Poster Contest
Congratulations to All!
The Concert on the Green is the largest outdoor benefit concert of its kind in Clay County.
Concert on the Green’s principal purpose is to provide a benefit concert featuring student performances and local bands with 100% of ALL proceeds/profits benefiting Clay County music and visual art students, and local school art and music programs. Students are awarded scholarships and school grants are awarded for art and music programs in Duval and Clay County.
Concert on the Green sponsors three competitions each year for instrumentalists, vocalists, and artists! The Young Artist Competition for instrumentalists and vocalists, and the Poster Art Competition, are an annual event.
Auditions occur in April and judges will determine First, Second and Third Place Award Winners for Top Vocalist and Top Instrumentalist in both Junior and Senior Division. Depending on number of applicants and skill level, an Honorable Mention Award may be given as well in any category.
The Poster Art Competition, which concludes in early March, also provides for scholarship to the Senior Division Winners, and the First Place student art, as selected by the Orange Park Art Guild panel, will have their art as the signature piece that Concert on the Green uses in its promotions throughout the year. A grant is also given to the Art Department/Class where the winning artist originates from.
In the last 36 years, Concert on the Green has awarded over $400,000 in scholarships and grants for Art and Music.
One event in Clay County has been instrumental in keeping the arts alive, encouraging our school age children to take up the arts, and in showing the entire County what a joy the arts can be. "Building community through the arts" has been our tagline, and we invite you to join us in the joy that art and music bring!
Support the arts and young musicians in classical music by becoming a sponsor to be featured in Cocoa & Carols. 100% of your sponsorship dollars go towards a student scholarship or a school grant!
Hosting the Concert on the Green reminds us all of the importance of minimizing our impact on our environment. We are conscious of the need to decrease emissions, divert our waste, and in general, offset our presence. In an effort to partner with us to keep our environment clean and be a part of something bigger we encourage you as concert attendees to: Carpool whenever feasible. When possible take home any disposable items you brought to the concert. Use the bins provided for your trash and recyclables. If you see trash that does not belong to you, be a good neighbor and dispose of it.
