《Guidelines when video-taping and submitting the video》
In your email, please be sure to mention the division you are competing and your assigned competition number in the subject line. In the context, please write down the name of the contestant (that of the representative member if you are participating in Chamber division) and the assigned competition number. If you fail to follow these, your application could become invalid.
Recording: For those you are participating in Piano solo live performance category, for the preliminary round please submit a performance that was recorded within the past year (preliminary round is with video entries only). For those who are participating in YouTube video format, there is no restrictions as to when the performance took place.
Make sure that the video captures your face(s) – either front or sideview) and hands. It is not necessary to capture the whole instrument (e.g. the edge of the piano). As much as possible, videos should allow the jurors to see the body(bodies) and movements (e.g. pedaling) of the performer. For chamber or duet performances, it is acceptable for the face of the performer who positions toward the back of the group not be clearly shown in the video.
There is no restrictions in regards to the brand/model of the videoing equipment to be used and location.
After the video is taken, please do not edit any, except possible cutting of the scenes before and after the actual playing. If contestant(s) break this rule, their participation may be terminated.
The submitted videos will not be used for any other matters than the judging in this competition.
If you have multiple video recording for the same category you are competing, please combine them and submit single URL.
