13. OWN CHOICE TEST PIECES—Performers entering classes where the test piece is ‘Own Choice’ must notify on their entry form the title of their chosen piece and the timing of it. If the services of the official Accompanist are required (See Rule 7) a copy of the chosen piece must be forwarded with the entry form. An extra copy of the own choice piece for the use of the adjudicator should be given to the Performers’ Steward before the class commences. A time limit of EIGHT minutes will be in force unless otherwise stated, and this rule will be strictly adhered to. Where the own choice piece does not require the official accompanist, only a copy for the Adjudicator on the day of the Festival is re-quired. Once an entry form has been accepted, no change of choice will be al-lowed.

14. Own Choice Music Copying Copyright Act 1956—The Music Publishers’ Association allows the following

concessions for copying Own Choice Pieces from volumes only for the adjudi-cator. Other items must not be photocopies without the permission of the copyright holder in each case.

. When an Own Choice work is selected from a publication containing several different works and which is not published separately, one copy may be made for the use of the Adjudicator at a competition or festival provided that the Performer or participant has already purchased his/her own copy, and that the copy is retained and destroyed by the administrators immediately after the event. This permission does not apply to set works.

Nor does the permission apply to making copies for the Accompanist, who must always be given a printed copy from which to work. Photocopies for the Adjudi-cator must be totally legible, or they may be refused. Failure to comply with these ‘Own Choice’ rules will result in elimination.

The use of tape recorder and cameras in the audience is not permitted because of copyright and other legal restricted and to avoid disturbing the performers.

A) SONGS FROM THE SHOWS CLASS—COPYRIGHT—ALL Performers using music from shows in current production are subject to copyright law. Songs from shows in current production may be sung as a concert item (ie without cos-tume or movement) without need for copyright permission. Where move-ments or costumes are included in a performance copyright permission is re-quired and the committee accepts entries on the basis that the appropriate permission has been sought. Performers or teachers with queries on how to obtain copyright permission for performance items should contact Festivals House on 0870 7744290 before making their entries.
