SOCIETY NOMINATION

based on a performance as outlined in A, B1 and B2.

The adjudicator will determine that a competitor has displayed a sufficient standard of performance to competently

represent that society at the National Finals.

The standard required will be at the absolute discretion of the adjudicator but will include;

• A demonstration of adequate preparation
• An authority of performance
• A performance with a level of maturity commensurate with a national final competition of this age group.

If the adjudicator considers that sufficient standard has NOT been reached by any competitor,

then NO nomination will be made.

The Nominee is responsible for paying part of the entry fee to the National Young Performer of the Year Award i.e. $50.00
