Talent decides the result.
We plan to use published singing criteria and a judging panel that includes an independent member. No paid popularity voting and no random tie-breaks.
Confidence comes first.
For under-18s, parents or guardians manage entry. Participation, private audition review and promotional filming are separate permissions. Publicity consent is optional.
Before inviting entries, we’ll confirm the venue, licences or exemptions, safeguarding arrangements, age rules, judging, prizes and cancellation terms. Preview the consent form.
Applications open soon.
