This year the prerecorded virtual Piano Contest and Piano Solo Festival have some new rules and video submission deadline changes.
The students and teachers can make multiple recordings and submit their best take to the judge. The videos may not be edited.
At the time of the video submission, the student/teacher will be able to upload a PDF copy of their music and write a note to the judge if they wish to do so. There will be no advantage or disadvantage whether students/teachers submit a copy of their music score to the judge.
The Piano Contest and Piano Solo Festival registration deadline is December 1. You may register your students in any district at that time. You don't need to live in the Twin Cities to register for January 16 -17 virtual event or vice versa. After the registration deadline, December 1, no day or district changes are allowed.
