Winning 

The Walnut Valley Festival sponsors eight instrumental contests. Several “big name” artists today (Mark O'Connor, Alison Krauss, Chris Thile, Peter Ostroushko, to name a few) can point to being a “Winfield winner” in their earlier years.

The contests are well-attended since most contestants bring their contingent of fans and there are others who simply want to be able to say, ten years from now, “I remember back when he won Winfield.”.

In this section, you'll find the rules, the prizes, and an entry form. You'll also find detailed information on recent winners as well as a comprehensive, triple cross-indexed list of all past contest winners.

Besides the instrumental contests, there are also campground contests, a competitive songwriter showcase, and a contest among the arts & crafts exhibitors.
