Performance and Video Submission
- Choirs are free to present any type of performance they wish within a 25-minute time allotment. Do not exceed this limit.
- We welcome all video submissions, from a basic cell phone or tablet recording to a fully produced video project, or even a virtual choir style muti-screen edited video. All are welcome to submit what you are able to produce at this time.
- Feel free to be creative with sound, lighting, costuming and set – these items will not be judged in the traditional sense, but will be taken into account in additional awards.
- There is no minimum or maximum number of songs a group must perform.
- Music need not be provided for the judges.
- In the high school category, only show band accompaniment is scorable and eligible for competition. If a High School show choir uses purchased accompaniment tracks, performance will be for comments/critique only.
- Middle School divisions will still be scored if a performance track is used.
- To be considered for the “Best Band” Awards, instrumentalists must be comprised entirely of students from the participating schools, with the allowance of one adult, if necessary.

Judges and Feedback
We had a great lineup of judges for 2021 when we planned to be in person. That being said, we know some of the people we had selected will now have groups competing due to the online nature. Once we have better grasp on who will be submitting videos to compete, we will share a finalized group of judges.
All judges will provide written comments for student growth. ONE judge will provide a video with as close to a traditional critique as possible.
We are aware the pandemic has placed cost/time restraints on programs across the nation.
Recognizing this impact, costumes, props, and sets WILL NOT factor into scoring this year.

Scoring
We are very proud to be a competition that uses the electronic Palu Tabulations scoring system. Palu Tabulations runs through Google Docs. We are going to do traditional awards for all categories – but, we will also get creative with the unusual circumstances of Covid and video production. Please get creative with your videos and submissions – the sky is the limit. We will likely group schools based on things like “iPhone video,” “Produced films,” “Virtual choirs,” etc.
Updated ballot examples will be available soon.
