All recordings for the State Honors Recitals will be submitted electronically. Recordings may be made before the festival, but the personnel on the recording must be the same who perform at the festival. Recordings may be submitted using audio OR video digital media.

If paying by check, all checks must be postmarked no later than the registration deadline for site festivals or received by the State Honors Recital adjudication. If a check is not received on time then submissions will not be adjudicated. See the “Fees” section of the rules and regulations for further information.
