    \n
  1. Your nomination(s)<\/strong> for the Regional Championship should be made with the help of your adjudicator and by your Committee. It should specify the piece to be performed
    \nwhich will be the performance at your Festival which merited this nomination.
    \nIf it is impossible to fit this performance into eight minutes, please contact the Championship Secretary (address below) for advice.<\/li>\n
  2. You may nominate<\/strong> one performer from each of the three disciplines (Speech and Drama, Dance and Music).\u00a0 It is sadly not practical at the moment to separate Voice into a discrete category.\u00a0 Your performer must have been under 18 on the qualifying date for your Festival.<\/li>\n
  3. You may nominate a group<\/strong> to perform.\u00a0 The group may be up to ten in number and must not include anyone over 18 on your Festival qualifying date.<\/li>\n
  4. The qualifying dates<\/strong> for this Championship are 1st September 2026 \u2014 31st July 2027.\u00a0 <\/strong>Performance at a Festival outside this time does not qualify for a nomination for the Regional Championship.<\/li>\n
  5. Check that your nominee(s)<\/strong> will be available on Saturday 4th September 2027.
    \nPerformers will be expected to attend for the whole day (typically 10:00am \u2013 4:00pm).<\/em><\/li>\n
  6. Complete the nomination form.<\/strong> We need to know the name and contact information for each performer who will then send further details directly to us.
    \nYou may wish to ask him\/her to send you a copy so you can check what they have submitted.\u00a0 You may fill in the downloadable .pdf but it will be better if you can complete the online form provided.<\/li>\n
  7. All nominations must be received<\/strong> before Friday 16th July 2027. We won\u2019t accept late nominations. If your Festival falls well before this date, do not delay sending your nomination(s) to us.<\/li>\n
  8. Give the address <\/strong>of the Performer Form and Information Sheet to your nominee(s).\u00a0 Direct them to this website where they will find a form.\u00a0 They can download a .pdf but persuade them to fill it in online.\u00a0\u00a0It is the nominee\u2019s responsibility to complete the form \u2014 this is not something you can do for them! We can help them if necessary.
    \nIf you nominate a group, ensure that they fill in the appropriate form.<\/li>\n
  9. We will expect to receive<\/strong> the Performer Form within four weeks of your nomination. You may want to ask him\/her to send you a copy so that you can check that it\u2019s correct.<\/li>\n
  10. If you decide not to nominate any performers<\/strong>, please let us know as soon as possible.<\/li>\n
  11. There have been awkward situations<\/strong> where a performance has been entered into an unexpected discipline.\u00a0 Dance performances will be judged on the dance element of that performance while Speech and Drama entries will focus on the voice and stage presence.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
