VIDEO SUBMISSION

1. The qualifying round will be scheduled from 7-10 September 2023.
2. You will be informed on your qualifying round schedule by Thursday, 31 August 2023
3. If you are unable to perform live at your scheduled time, please submit your video for the qualifying round by Monday, 4 September 2023.
4. The performance needs to captured as a single, continuous shot in real time – you must not stop or pause the camera in between pieces (for categories playing more than 1 repertoire). Please ensure you keep the video as stable as possible and avoid zooming in or out during the recording.
   You must not use video editing software to cut out takes or reduce the time between pieces – the video should represent an audition/performance done in person as closely as possible.
   Your face must be visible in the video, so we can identify the person entering the competition – snare, bass drum, all toms, cymbals, pedals, and the player in the seated position, in full view throughout, with the kit presented side-on showing hands and feet. Getting a single camera shot of a drummer can be challenging, so try and find an angle where you can see the performer and equipment clearly: a slightly elevated position with the camera pointing slightly down can work well.
   
   Upload your video to a permanent file sharing service, such as YouTube, Google Drive, Dropbox or Tudou. Temporary file sharing (such as WeTransfer) is not recommended, because the file will be deleted after a certain period of time.
5. Submit the link to your video in the form here.
