Iowa Admin. Code r. 11-116.1
The Terrace Hill endowment for the musical arts (THEMA) functions under the Terrace Hill commission with all final authority resting with the commission. A board of not less than seven members called the board of trustees will conduct two piano competitions: a senior competition for high school seniors and a junior competition for students in grades 9 through 11. The board will direct payments from the endowment for scholarships to one or more winners of the senior competition. No endowment money is to be used for awards to winners of the junior competition. The board will be appointed by the commission. Staggered terms of three years will be set by the commission for THEMA trustees. All policies, fund-raising activities and decisions concerning the competition and the scholarships are under the jurisdiction of the trustees, subject to Terrace Hill commission oversight and approval.
