6 GENERAL REGULATIONS The Provincial Festival Board is responsible for creating and enforcing the regulations contained herein. The regulations govern all four affiliated local festivals, as well as the provincial festival. The purpose of the regulations is to ensure that: (i) PEI festivals adhere to common standards; and (ii) festival competitions are conducted in a fair and equitable manner. The four local festival organizing committees are responsible for the working management of local festivals. Please consult your local festival addendum for additional rules specific to your festival. Contestants, teachers and parents are responsible for reading and complying with the regulations and entering the correct classes; non-compliance may result in disqualification. For the purpose of festival competition, disqualification means the contestant will receive a written adjudication only. The adjudication system of the Prince Edward Island Kiwanis Music Festival Association is designed to recognize each participant for his or her own individual performance. Whether the classes are competitive or non-competitive, each performance is adjudicated according to its own merit and not in comparison with others. Each participant will receive positive instruction and encouragement. A gold, silver or bronze seal will be added to the adjudication sheet reflecting the standard achieved for that particular performance. This standard is pre-determined by the adjudicator. The marks represented by the seals are as follows: Gold 88 or above, Silver 84-87, Bronze The mark itself will not be made public and is used solely in deciding final awards. 1. The PEI music festivals shall be open to non-professionals who are (i) Canadian citizens; or (ii) living or studying in the province. 2. A non-professional is defined as a person whose principal means of livelihood is not obtained from the performance of music in the particular discipline in which he or she is competing.

A competitor who qualifies as a professional for the purpose of a particular discipline may enter as an amateur in other disciplines. 3. Music Festival contestants should compete in their designated home festival. For the purpose of these regulations, home festival is defined as the local festival that operates in the contestant s place of residence and/or study. Contestants who wish to compete in an alternate local festival must submit a request in writing to the Provincial Administrator prior to the entry deadline, stating the reason for the request. 4. Contestants have the option of entering local festival classes on a competitive or noncompetitive basis. Any person or group interested in participating non-competitively may (i) enter designated noncompetitive classes; or (ii) indicate on the entry form that the entry is for adjudication only. In each case, the contestant will receive a written adjudication. Noncompetitive entries do not qualify for awards and provincial festival. 5.
