Correct Video Positioning

VIDEOS: 

1. All videos must be submitted using the form on the IMA website  between May 1st and May 23, 2021.
2. Students must be positioned as shown on our website or they cannot win 1st, 2nd, or 3rd Place. See below for correct positioning.
3. A scanned copy of the student's music for the Judge to use to adjudicate must be submitted at the same time as the video (even if your selection is from a Required List). Make any changes clear to the Judge. A copy of the front cover of the book must also be submitted or a receipt for music purchased on line as proof of purchase to adhere to copy rite laws.
4. On the video, students should say their first name, their contestant number and the title of their selection.
5. Be certain to submit the video you like the best because after you submit the video, you will not be able to make any changes to your submission.
