manuscript paper in black ink, or it may be
computer-generated. Each entry is assumed to be the original
work of the individual whose name appears on the entry form
attached to the manuscript. All rights to the composition will
be retained by the composer. Each contestant will be expected
to perform their composition in the festival or to arrange to
have it performed. All composers will receive a certificate of

class and diversity of styles and forms, there will be no mark
attached. Students will receive an adjudication only.
