AWARDS

Competitors will be judged using a point system, rather than competing directly against each other. Each competitor is assessed individually, similar to an exam, where the focus is on personal achievement and skill.

This ensures that each competitor is recognised for their own performance, regardless of how others perform. Each competitor will receive a score, which will determine their achievement for their entry.

BRONZE

50 - 64.9

GOLD

85 - 94.9

SILVER

65 - 74.9

HIGH GOLD

This method of competition ensures that each participant has an equal chance to showcase their talents and receive recognition for their achievements on stage.
