How to Enter
Entry forms should ideally be typed on the entry forms. Hand-written forms are accepted only if they are written very clearly. Section leaders have recently had enormous difficulty trying to decipher badly written forms, which wastes a lot of time and can lead to errors.
If you wish to email a handwritten form, please use a scanner rather than taking a photograph of it.
Email or post your completed form to the section leader with a cheque – or pay online by bank transfer, stating surname of entrant and section entered (Piano) in the reference.
Bank transfers can be made to Ealing Festival, Lloyds Bank, Account no 03767002, Sort code 30 9282, using competitor’s surname and section name as reference: e.g. SmithPiano
Cheques/postal orders should be made payable to EALING FESTIVAL and sent with the entry form to the section leader.
PLEASE CONTACT SECTION LEADER AT EMAIL ADDRESS IN SYLLABUS IF YOUR ENTRY IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGED WITHIN A WEEK.
