The video does not have to be a public or concert performance, simply an unedited video recording of the piece performed by the participant.

JUST AS IMPORTANT:

Although video creativity will not influence the judge's placements, audio/video quality certainly will! Make sure your video can be clearly heard in order to be fairly judged against other competing entries.

Adjudication:

An adjudication grading system similar to Rubric Evaluation will be used. Judge's scores will be averaged for a final score. Judges comments will be emailed to all participants after results have been calculated.
