A note about online judging
This is an online competition that charges an entry fee. Classical Board believes any fee charged for online judging should be matched by real value to every applicant, whether or not they advance. Before you apply, it's worth checking directly with the organiser: • Is the jury published, and are its members musicians of genuine standing? • Does every juror listen to each submission in full? • Will you receive specific, considered feedback on your performance — win or lose?
