Winners of each category will be expected to perform in a winner's concert during the conference.

The entrance fee for each of the ensemble categories is $85.00 (USD) for the group. Contestants who wish to enter more than one competition must submit a separate application, fee, and recording for each competition.

All identifying information must be removed from the file (i.e. no names of individuals, schools or teachers in the file title or in the metadata). Specific details concerning repertoire are provided under each competition category. All recordings will be presented to judges anonymously. Any failure to follow these guidelines may result in immediate disqualification.

PRIZES: Prize amounts are to be announced in early 2019. Amounts are dependent upon the number of entrants in each category as well as contributions from manufacturers, merchants, and individuals.
