The winner was awarded the title: CLASSIC SINGER TENKASI 2014 besides a cash prize of Rs.10000. The first and second runner-ups received cash awards of Rs.5000 and Rs.2000 respectively.

The highlight of the finals was the presence of Smt.Dr.Latha Varma, Principal, Sri Sathguru College of Music, Madurai and the internationally acclaimed carnatic music vocalists and violinists Sow. Akkarai S.Subhalakshmi and Akkarai S.Sornalatha. We thank them for their presence and support.
