A panel comprising both Singapore-based and international adjudicators will judge in the Competition.

The Adjudicating Panel reserves the right to interrupt and/or halt a participant’s performance at any point during the Competition.

The first, second and third prize winners will be determined at the Finals of the respective age/instrumental categories.

The preliminary round for Solo Section – Grand Category, will be conducted via blind listening of the submitted recordings. This process is audited independently and the decision of the Adjudicating Panel is final. Video submissions are required solely to verify the authenticity of the performance. Only participants who enter semi-final and final rounds will proceed to live performance stages.

The Adjudicating Panel reserves the right, at its discretion, to award, or not award any prizes.

All decisions made by the Adjudicating Panel are final. No appeals or correspondence will be entertained.
