Step 4 : Download , print and sign APRA forms
If you will be using photocopies to provide sheet music to the adjudicator or your accompanist, then you will need to download and print these forms for attaching to your music. They are a signed declaration that you own an original version of the music and that these copies are only for the sole use at the competition. We have prepared small forms, 4 to an A4 page, to save on paper and cost of printing. Adjudicator copies will be destroyed by the Society as this is a legal requirement. Accompanist copies are the competitor's responsibility to retrieve from your accompanist and destroy them.
Please do NOT send these forms or your music to the Convener. You bring them with you to the competition.
Step 5 : You're finished... almost...
You must name your music clearly for handing in at the comps.
Here is a page of labels that you can download, print, complete your details and affix to your sheet music.
Any music purchased off the internet and printed should be clearly marked as "ORIGINAL".
Thanks for entering!
