Society Nomination

Each Society, which is a financial member of PACANZ, may nominate up to two competitors, who shall be selected by the adjudicator, based on a performance as outlined in A-D.

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 NOnomination will be made.

The Nominating Society is responsible for paying part of the entry fee to the National Young Performer Awards i.e. $75 incl. GST per Nominee.

Each Nominee 
is responsible for paying the rest of the entry fee to the National Young Performer Awards i.e. $175.00 incl. GST.
