2021 Virtual Festival
Registration is now closed

Please ensure that you are familiar with the policy for moving 2020 Adjudicator recommended competitors to the 2021 Provincial Festival - available here
AND
please be sure that all your participants read the PABC Virtual Festival 2021 guidelines - available here.

Registration will close on May 8th. After May 3rd each participant will receive an email with a link and instructions for uploading their video links & PDF documents as required. For dance only, videos for uploading must be in MP4 format. All videos will need to be uploaded by May 15th. For participants to be eligible for the 2021 festival, the PABC office must receive all payments and signed waivers by May 22, 2021.

Each festival in good standing will be able to access the online registration system. The registration system will open April 1 and each festival will receive the link and their usernames and passwords at this time. To be ready to enter your competitors, please have each completed local entry form in front of you and know whether your festival pays the entry fees, or each individual competitor. Payment may be made by cheque or PayPal from either the festival or the individual. PABC can also accept payment by e-transfer to pabcpayments@gmail.com. Please do not send any funds until competitors have received their registration confirmation.

Please enter each competitor only once – Canadian Piano, All Instruments and Voice Canadian Music, Vocal Variety and Speech Arts Shakespeare classes, may all be entered at the same time as a competitor’s main entry. The only exception to this may be a competitor who is a member of a Chamber Group as well as a soloist. In that case, their ‘brief’ information will be entered twice.

Merited Participants will not be entered via the online registration system. Local Festival offices, please send completed merited participant forms directly to the PABC office.

The Resources Section now contains all the paperwork that you will need for your Provincial Candidates for the 2021 Festival.

Please follow the links under 'Resources' to find Adjudicator Signature Forms for each discipline, Participant Welcome letters, local festival provincial information collection forms and 2021 Choral entry forms.

Please note that each competitor recommended from your festival must have attained a minimum mark of 85 in two solo classes. Should any questions arise, the Provincial Office will contact you to check your records.

Choral Groups will not be entered online rather they will still use the choral entry form that must accompany each entry. All entries must be in the database by midnight May 8th, 2021. No late entries will be accepted. Choral entries must be received by May 11th, 2021 and all payments must be received by May 22, 2021 unless arrangements for late payment are made with the office.
