Competitors’ Orientation Meeting, Sunday, June 16, 8:00 p.m.

This meeting is required of all competitors.

This meeting will determine the performance order for the three-day Preliminary Round by means of a Lottery – numerical order draw.

If you have a travel delay that prevents you from attending the meeting, you will need to provide proof upon arrival of earlier travel plans to be granted a slot in the Preliminary Round. If you have any other reason that you cannot attend the meeting, you must write to and receive a reply from the Artistic Director in advance to receive permission to have your performance order drawn by a GFA staff person in your absence. Any registered competitors who do not either receive advance permission to miss the meeting for good cause or do not have a documented travel delay will not be allowed to compete.

All competitors are required to submit their free choices for all rounds via a link on our website (to be provided after the registration deadline has closed). Any changes to your submitted program may be made until May 8, after which programs may not be altered.  Competitors who do not submit programs by this date will be disqualified, and no refund will be provided.

Required Piece: Fantasia, by Roberto Gerhard.

Open to competitors, who must be 18 years of age by June 1, 2020 (the year following the competition), regardless of nationality.
