REGULATIONS FOR NATIONAL MUSIC FESTIVAL
- Should a satisfactory standard be attained, the adjudicator at the Provincial Level may recommend a winner in each of Classes 1 through 7 to proceed to the National Music Festival Finals.
- If a contestant who has been recommended to participate in the National Music Festival is unable to do so, an alternate shall be eligible to compete (see Provincial Regulation #3). Should a regular member of a Chamber Group (for valid reasons) be unable to proceed to the National Music Festival one substitution will be permitted.
- All contestants proceeding to the National Music Festival will be provided with meals and living accommodations; travel costs to be provided only if funds are available. All contestants, including those from the Host Province, must stay in the assigned accommodation. If clarification is necessary, contestants should contact the Provincial Administrator of the Executive Director of the Federation of Canadian Music Festivals.
- The names of official accompanists for the National Festival will be given to contestants only if requested, on the proper form, prior to July 15th. Contact with, and payment for official accompanists are the responsibility of the contestant requiring this service. Contestants are encouraged to bring their own accompanists, keeping in mind that all professional, travel and living expenses of personal accompanists must be borne by the contestant and/or the accompanist. Accompaniment is restricted to one instrument, which shall be the piano.
- Arrangements will be made for contestants to practice at the National Music Festival. In addition, contestants will be allowed official rehearsal time in the hall in which they will perform.
- Performance adjudications and workshops will be given following the conclusion of competitions.
- All contestants must attend the Grand Award Competition in formal attire (refer to Code of Conduct), and first-place winners in Classes 1 through 7 are required to perform.
- Adjudicator recommendation forms of Provincial winners (and alternates, if any) for the National Finals must be submitted to the Executive Director of the Federation of Canadian Music Festivals not later then July 1 of the current festival year.
- All information forms of Provincial winners and alternates for the National Finals must be submitted to the Executive Director not later than July 1 of the current festival year. The National Music Festival Committee reserves the right to contact the alternate if forms from a Provincial winner are not received before the deadline. This action would, of course, disqualify the Provincial winner from competition.
