There are a wide range ACDA member benefits available to students!
ACDA Student Chapters
- Already have an ACDA Student Chapter? ACDA is looking to reconnect with our Student Chapters and to reenergize our work together. CLICK HERE to register your chapter to make sure your record is updated for the 2023-2024 school year.
- Want to start an ACDA Student Chapter? Tell us about your interest by registering on this form. We are developing new materials for student chapters and will provide these to you as soon as we can. In the meantime, you’ll want to check with your Institution about registering as an official student organization on campus and get that process started.

Conferences

Student Competitions and Awards

- ACDA’s Brock Prize for Student Composers
- Outstanding ACDA Student Chapter Award

Want to use the ACDA Logo?
Maintain the logo’s proportions; don’t stretch or alter it. Leave enough clear space around the logo to ensure its visibility and impact.
Thinking of changing the logo in any way? Using a different color scheme? Modifying it? Your chapter needs to seek permission before taking any of these actions.
