About this opportunity
An online video competition run under the same WOMCO umbrella as several similar contests. You submit a link to a pre-recorded performance and it is judged in a single round: no live stage, no travel. Competition age is determined by the candidate's age on 1 March 2026, and each category needs a separate application form.
The category list is long and priced category by category. Performance Grade categories, which take pieces from any exam book, run from 45 to 65 pounds by grade. Period and format categories — Baroque, Classical, Romantic, 20th and 21st century, British composition, original composition, sonata, etude, traditional and world music — are 65 pounds. Age categories run from Young Talent, age 6 and under, at 50 pounds, up to Master, age 28 and under, at 90 pounds. Chamber music including duet is 75 pounds and concerto 80. Chamber, concerto, Young Master and Master carry extra award points, which feed a published ranking system.
Be clear about what this is: a paid-entry competition where the return is certificates, award points and ranking rather than money. Read the prizes page before entering so you know what you are buying.
Pre-recorded videos are accepted. The 26/27 Season 2 deadline is 20 September 2026, with results estimated for 13 October 2026.
