There are three age categories: 18–24 years, 25–39 years and 40+ years. The winner of each category will win both £1,000 courtesy of Lark Music Insurance and a full Season of BSO Digital Concerts (worth £170)! .

Entries will be judged based on:

  1. Musical Enjoyment: We’re not looking for perfection—just music that’s enjoyable and leaves an impression.
  2. Connection & Expression: We’ll be looking for performances that feel expressive, engaging, and show your personality.
  3. Your Unique Take: Whether it’s a fresh twist on a classic, an unusual instrument, or a creative setting, we love originality, that’s what we’re looking for.
