Advertising in the Minnesota High School Music Listening Contest Study Guide is a cost-effective way to target top academic students who are patrons of the arts.  Not only does the Study Guide serve as a constant companion for student participants throughout the competition, it also serves as a resource that will be used over and over again.                                                                                About the contest                                                 The Minnesota High School Music Listening Contest is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Since its inauguration in 1987, the contest has attracted thousands of highly motivated students from across the state who possess a wide range of abilities and interests, particularly in the arts. The contest is designed to assist teachers in their efforts to expand students' musical experiences through the examination of Western Art Music (global and cultural music traditions) and its ties to other art forms and politics throughout history.
