I’ve read mixed guidance on this. Can I add awards for piano competitions/evaluations in the Honors section? Or should I just add to description in activities list?
Thanks!
It depends. If it’s just a recital, I wouldn’t. If it’s a national or int’l level competition, of course you should. If it’s a city-wide competition, or state competition, I would add it, unless you have so many others that it pales in comparison.

Are you submitting a music supplement when allowed by the schools? Some schools accept a recording/video, music resume, and letters of recommendation for music. You would also list competition awards in that resume if submitted.

I think this is an interesting question! Alongside @parentologist answer, think about these questions. Is this award the “best” award/honor on your list? Is this the only award/honor on your list related to piano? If the answer is no for both of these questions, then I would say don’t add it since it doesn’t tell much about you.
