Requirements

Musical Style
Age Categories have no restrictions, so you can submit a video of any piece.
Thematic Categories (e.g., Best Romantic) require pieces that match the designated style (e.g., Romantic-era works for Best Romantic).


Video Guidelines
Camera angle changes are allowed.
Videos must not exceed the time limit for each category. If longer, only the first X minutes will be judged.
You may submit multiple pieces in one video, with pauses allowed.
If entering multiple categories, submit separate video links in the application form, separated by commas.
Pre-recorded backing tracks are allowed if a live accompanist is unavailable.
Conductors may submit videos from orchestras, choirs, ensembles, or small groups.
Composers may submit works performed by others, and computer-generated soundtracks are accepted.


Repertoire Selection
For multi-movement works (e.g., sonatas, concertos), you can submit one or more movements.
The same video or piece may be entered in multiple categories if it meets the requirements for each.
This structure offers flexibility while ensuring submissions align with category criteria.
