| MAGC 2008 Competition Guidelines (14+ yrs.) |
| 1. ELIGIBILITY |

| 2. PRIZES |
| 2. This competition is only for those in middle and high school. No camp attendee already in college at the time of the camp may participate in the competition. Previous MAGC Solo Guitar Competition first place winners may compete again in their age category after two years. |

| 3. REPERTOIRE |
| ONE PIECE will be selected by the adjudicating commitee for performance by all competition participants; this piece will be referred to as the "Set Piece." The set piece for MAGC 2008 is "Prelude No. 4" by Heitor Villa Lobos. The set piece shall be performed by each participant at each stage of the competition rounds. In addition to the set piece, TWO MORE PIECES of the participant's own choosing shall also be prepared, with the total performance time of all three pieces not to exceed 12 minutes. |
| 4. FEES |
| There is a $25 charge for those students participating this competition. |
| 5. HOW THIS ALL WORKS... |
| Beginning Monday night of the camp at 6:30pm, participants will perform in a closed-forum for their adjudicators. Each will play the required "Set Piece", and some or all of their other prepared selections. Depending on the total number of partipants, the competition rounds will continue as such each evening as needed. On Friday, four finalists will perform in front of all campers, guests and the adjudicators at a 7pm performance. Awards will be announced after the closing Ensemble Performance later that same evening.. |
| 6. HOW TO "ENROLL" |
| Simply check the box saying you'll be participating in the competition when you enroll for camp, and remember to add the competition fee of $25. If you decide to take part after enrollment has been sent, please notify us in writing of your intent to take part in the competition. |

| Solo/Ensemble Ratings (All Ages) |
| This year, we extend the offer of the opportunity to play, either solo or in an ensemble (hence the name), in order to receive a rating of I, II or III (plus adjudicator's written comments) to all participants REGARDLESS of age. So even if a participant is of an age to enter the Solo Competition, they might choose this "lesser stress" option. The cost for participating is $25/soloist. Ensembles pay $25 for the first member, and $15 for each additional member (for example, a duo would be $40, a trio $55). All participants will receive a written critique of their performance along with tips for advancement, and a certificate (or certificates, if an ensemble) from MAGC 2008 showing their rating. Those students wishing to participate in Solo/Ensemble should check the appropiate box on the Registration Form, and include the appropriate fees. |
