The informational requirements for any Apogee Awards application are as provided below, and the audio/visual materials required for specific awards can be viewed by clicking on the links shown below for the specific type of award being applied for. Applicants who perform in non-Western or non-Classical disciplines may submit analogous materials designed to similarly demonstrate the applicant’s full range of styles and skills in their specific artistic field.
Because the qualifications for participating in any Apogee program inherently include achieving the "apogee of human excellence", any awards or benefits from the Foundation will be immediately forfeited in the event that: (i) false or misleading information is provided, (ii) the applicant behaves in a manner that is inconsistent with the Foundation's reputation or values, (iii) the applicant uses illegal or harmful substances. Detailed requirements for participation in any Apogee programs are contained in The Apogee Foundation Program Candidacy Agreement, which must be submitted together with any application to the Foundation. Applicants should contact the Foundation by e-mail to obtain and review a copy of this agreement prior to submitting any application materials.
