DELORAINE BORDER FESTIVAL
ALL AWARDS ARE CHOSEN BY THE ADJUDICATOR
The winner of an award may not be the one with the top mark.
Technical difficulty of selections, overall quality and number of pieces perfected may also enter into the adjudicator’s decision.
The Deloraine Border Festival may, at its discretion, withdraw an award offered where enough entries are not received to justify a particular award as listed on website.
FESTIVAL AWARD WINNER pictures will be publicized on website unless a specific request is made to exclude a performer photo.
Participants receiving multiple solo awards in various disciplines are invited to perform at Awards Concert for each discipline, however, only one solo performance is compulsory. All awards will be listed in program even if not performed.
If you choose to opt out of some performances, or are unable to attend,
please contact either a discipline coordinator or the awards committee so Concert Program may be updated.
