All first round videos must be submitted as unlisted YouTube video links by September 30th.

VIDEO RECORDING

The candidates have to upload their videos to YouTube as unlisted, using NAME SURNAME - CPC 2022 as title, and the description should contain the list of pieces in the order of execution.

Please state your name at the beginning of the recording and do not stop the recording until you have played the entire repertoire list.
There has to be only one camera angle and it should show the candidate clearly in the picture for the entire duration of the performance.

Please note: we will not accept videos that have been edited together or show footage from different rooms, nor will we accept separate submissions for individual pieces. The Classical Tambourine Competition reserves the right to disqualify submissions that do now follow all guidelines.

Recording Tips:
- Select a recording device with a good microphone placed 1.5-3 meters(5-10 feet) from you.
- Find an acoustically appropriate space to play in, such as a concert hall, church or large practice room. Please eliminate all audio and visual distractions.
- The more light the better for the video
- To ensure you're providing the judges the best representation of your musicianship, conduct a short test recording first to check sound and image.
- Upload your video to YouTube as unlisted (see instructions below).
