Repertoire selections can be in any style or genre, provided they are at least 12 measures in length.

An original copy of the score must be provided to the judge in all categories. A student playing in the non-memorized category must have TWO original scores (one for the judge; one for the student).

No reproduced music may be used by performers or provided to judges; however, single pages may be reproduced to facilitate page turns for accompanists as long as the published score is present.

Music scores purchased online must include a proof of purchase.

Reproduced, out-of-print music may be used if the teacher has provided a letter of permission from the publisher or copyright holder.

Music in manuscript form may be used for the original composition category only; notation must be legible.

Recorded accompaniments are not allowed for vocalists or instrumentalists. Teachers may accompany their own students.

All schedule or category changes must be submitted two weeks prior to the event.
