5. Two weeks before the Festival, go back into Stardom and check your entry to make sure you have the correct Title and Composer of the piece you wish to play.
If you are entering an Ensemble, please fill out a sketch plan of your stage layout to help our volunteers.

Music Copyright
If you are performing from memory, and wish to submit your original publication for the Adjudicator, please ensure your book is clearly marked with your name. We have had so many music books lost or accidentally taken by others, and we cannot be held responsible for these losses. For this reason, we prefer that you submit photocopies.
Make sure all your music selections are from original, published sheet music that you own, or that are in the public domain.
Photocopies of your sheet music are to be used by the Adjudicator and/or the Accompanist only. These copies will not be returned to you, but will be destroyed after the competition in accordance with Copyright Regulations, so please do not ask for your photocopies to be returned to you.
