Welcome

OUR 2021 ONLINE COMPETITIONS ARE LIVE!

Building on the success of our harp and one-minute monologue competitions in 2020, our 2021 Festival will be fully online. We are excited to have created specially designed competitions for choirs, composition, harp, piano, strings and speech and drama.

The closing dates for entering are Sunday 21st March for some sections and Friday 16th April for others.

Entries will only be accepted from people living or studying in the UK or the Republic of Ireland.

For the 2021 Festival, the date on which we calculate a person’s age is 1st September 2020, so that all entrants in the same school year are in the same class.

We have a new system for entries, powered by Play and Perform, which applies to all classes except the Emanuel Trophy Prize Competition *. Please click on the link below for how to apply and for hints on creating an effective video performance. The first time that you use the new entry system, you will need to register. Entrants must also upload copies of the music.

* The Emanuel Trophy Prize Competition will be online, but you cannot enter online. Please contact the Piano Section Secretary, Janice Twiselton, piano@northlondonfestival.org.uk to ask for an entry form. You should return your entry to her. All entries must be received by Sunday 21st March.
