Mid-America Music Association Competition

Hello! I have a question concerning the annual Mid-America Music Association Competition, also referred to as MAMA, that takes place during the summer. I'm a college piano major teaching piano part time privately at home. Before starting my own studio, I was teaching at a local music store. And it was through the music store that I came to know about the MAMA competition, a festival that I assume is mostly music stores affiliated? Is it only through music stores that students are eligible for this festival? I have a student who has done the MAMA festival for the last 2 years. However, now that I'm teaching privately, I have no way of getting info concerning MAMA and this student is really looking forward to participating again. Can anyone help? I tried looking for a MAMA website, or anything of that matter on the internet but with no avail. Please, if you have any advice or suggestions or know how I can get in touch of the MAMA people, please post a reply or email me directly by clicking on my screenname underneath "Started by". Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much!
