Since 2021 all ensembles entering the ASBOF have the opportunity to enter:
Adjudication Only
All ensembles will have the opportunity to enter the Festival as an educational experience only and receive the confidential audio feedback from a member of our highly acclaimed panel of adjudicators. No award will be presented and no public announcement as to the level of performance will be made. Adjudication Only ensembles entering the Online section of the Festival will still be eligible for participation in the online streaming event, if it takes place. A PARTICIPATION plaque can also be requested for ensembles which would like to commemorate their participation in the event. Please contact the Festival GM for more information.
Adjudication Plus Trophy
All ensembles entering the Adjudication Plus Trophy section of the Festival will receive the confidential audio adjudication comments from a member of our highly acclaimed panel of adjudicators. In addition to receiving the adjudication, these ensembles will be awarded a GOLD, SILVER, or BRONZE rating which will be publicly announced and displayed on our website.
You will need to choose either Adjudication Only or Adjudication Plus Trophy at the entry stage. There is an additional cost to the entry fee for the award which will be added at the checkout stage of entry.
