The Helen Bradach Zuponcic Concerto Competition gives participants in the Young Artists program the opportunity to compete for a chance to appear in concert with the Northern Lights Music Festival Orchestra, along with cash awards. Now in its second year the competition is named after Helen Bradach Zuponcic, (b. 1915, d. 2014), piano teacher who taught hundreds of young people in the city of Aurora. She accepted her first student in 1945, and taught for 70 years, until her retirement in 2005 at age 90.

The competition is free and open to the public.
