for tips about recording your videos.
Video recording must be focused such that the performer is visible at all times, including head, feet and instrument.
Videos must contain all repertoire listed on the original registration.
Entrant and teacher names should not be included or announced anywhere in the video.
Entrants must submit a separate recording and link for every individual movement and piece that is submitted. For example, if the entrant is submitting a 3-movement Beethoven sonata, a Chopin etude, and Debussy Ballade, the student will have 5 separate recordings, each with a unique URL. However, Preludes & Fugues are considered as a single piece. The file size limit is 4GB. No editing is allowed. Each selection must be labeled with the title and composer. For individual movements of a larger work, label with the title, Roman numeral of movement and composer. See Example: Sonata in F Minor, Op. 2, No. 1, I., Beethoven.
Only repertoire originally written for unaccompanied instrument or voice may be performed without an accompanist; however, if entrants are unable meet with accompanists due to state or local orders, prerecorded piano accompaniments are acceptable.
