I. Technical information regarding recordings

Only those recordings will be considered eligible and possible to assess which meet the technical requirements. Sound recordings only and videos of different formats will be rejected.

1.) The submitted performance video has to be recorded in a way that the student uploading the video and the performance itself is possible to authenticate.

2.) The video recording may only contain uncut recording of the performance, the pieces/movements have to be continuous without any cuts. Any post-work done in any shape or form (sound or picture) or with the usage of any kind of technology, is prohibited.

3.) The picture of the video recording has to be done considering the following:

  • The format of the shot has to be horizontal (landscape).
  • The student has to be in the middle of the picture with a clear and visible shot of their face and hands in focus.
  • Avoid backlight (the main source of light is preferably behind the camera, in front of the student).

4.) The sound quality of the recording has to be good enough so that instrument is clear, easily separated from outside and technical noises during the entirety of the performance.

5.) File-format: mp4.

We are kindly asking our students to act in accordance with the current epidemic related guidelines and preventative measures during the preparation of the video recording. This is everyone’s personal responsibility.
