AM ATEUR COMPETITIVE FESTIVALS
The Competitive Festival Movement provides opportunities for individual talent to be developed to its best level.
It provides a platform for many talented amateur musicians and verse speakers of all ages, both for those
especially gifted & for those who just want to learn how to give of their best. It gives the stimulus of preparing for
a public occasion and an opportunity to listen and learn from the performance of other competitors.
Most important is the constructive criticism, help and advice given by professional adjudicators which helps
the competitors to improve their respective skills, and, of course, educates. It is not really important whether
competitors achieve first, second or third places in a class, but the adjudicators’ remarks both on paper and in
public give a sense of achievement and encourage development.
Many of today’s professionals began by entering Competitive Festivals. Cornwall Music Festival is proud to
name among its former competitors Sir David Willcocks, Wendy Eathorne, alan Opie and Benjamin luxon.

Trophies
Did you know.... that when you
make unauthorised photocopies of a
copyright work, nobody gets paid?
When you photocopy without
permission, you jeopardise
the livelihoods of composers,
publishers and music shops. You
could also end up in court which
would be very costly.
So, support the music you enjoy:
buy and use originals. They are
clearer and easier to read, they last
longer, and when you buy them
you are supporting composers and
publishers and are helping to keep a
wide range of music available.
In addition to Conductors and Accompanists, for whom there is no charge, one complimentary ticket per ten pupils will be
issued for adult supervisors. (eg 30 pupils = 3 complimentary tickets).
All other adult spectators will be expected to purchase a ticket.

Data protection
Under the Data Protection Act 1998 which came into force on 1st March 2000, this Festival is exempt from notifying the
out pursuant to the Act. Data held is solely for the purpose of running the Festival and personal data will not be disclosed
to third parties without express consent, except in fulfilment of constitutional purposes.
10 Parking
The Festival’s use of the premises of Truro Methodist Church does not extend to the car park. No parking will normally be
available on the Church premises. Alternative long-stay car parking is available in public car parks near Truro Bowl, or at
the Viaduct at the top of Pydar Street, or on the corner of Old Bridge Street / St Austell Street. The Park-and-Ride bus from
Threemilestone is also recommended, and cheap, but it stops running at 7pm.

concession. When an ‘Own-choice’ work is selected from a publication containing several different works and which is not

after the event. This permission specifically does not apply to set pieces. Infringement might lead to disqualification.

PURPOSE AND FUNCTION OF ORGANISATION:
CORNWALL MUSIC FESTIVAL holds annually in the County of Cornwall an amateur competitive and non competitive
festival of music and spoken word under the title of CORNWALL MUSIC FESTIVAL (‘the Festival’). The Festival commenced
in 1910 and has continually striven to ensure a happy and friendly atmosphere for all competitors who may enter from
within the County of Cornwall or anywhere beyond. Professional adjudicators and specialists are engaged to ensure a high
standard of judgment of competition for which trophies may be awarded or otherwise.
THE FESTIVAL ENVIRONMENT
CORNWALL MUSIC FESTIVAL declares that it will take practical steps to ensure that the Festival is held in a safe
environment for children under the age of eighteen years and vulnerable persons of any age who are attending.
TMC has three performance areas. Performers can move safely between these areas without leaving the building. Each
area is staffed by carefully screened volunteers and members of the Festival Committee.
The Church is not usually used by members of the public during Festival Week unless they are attending the Festival.
CORNWALL MUSIC FESTIVAL cannot, however, take responsibility for children and, in this regard, sends this policy to all
parents, guardians and carers to let them know that, if they are not attending with their children, it is their responsibility to
ensure that they are accompanied to the festival and supervised by a responsible adult.
