Marimbafest Australia is the operator of this Competition. The Competition will be held at the Callaway Music Auditorium, UWA Conservatorium of Music.
Only Festival Pass and Competition Only Pass Holders who have successfully registered may participate in the Competition. No late entries after the closing date or on the day will be accepted.
If the Competitor requires sheet music on stage, the sheet music used must be the original published copy. Use of photocopies and electronic scores are prohibited, unless used in conjunction with an original copy.
Competitors must not perform a work different to their initial choice of repertoire, unless given prior permission to do so.
All repertoire performed must be unaccompanied marimba solo music (no backing tracks, piano accompaniment etc). Transcriptions are permitted if they are for solo marimba.
Competitors will have access to warm-up instruments. Performances will be on a 5-octave Yamaha, Marimba One, Musser or Mode Marimba (subject to Competitors’ choice and availability).

All Competitors must uphold a good standard of behaviour. Engaging in inappropriate, disruptive, offensive or disorderly conduct towards Competitors, Faculty, Staff or others is prohibited. Such behaviour will result in disqualification.
Competitors must use appropriate mallets on the instrument. If a Competitor’s mallet choice is found to be exceedingly hard for the register (e.g. very hard mallets in the lowest octave), this may result in disqualification.

Competitors, as well as any other parties, may freely spectate, take photos of and record other Competitors whilst they are performing. However, if this is deemed to be disruptive to the Competitor’s performance, the party will be asked to leave.

There will be six (6) prizes in total available to Competitors. First Prize, Second Prize, Third Prize and Fourth Prize can only be given to the finalists of the Competition. The two other prizes can be given to any Competitors who have not already received First, Second, Third or Fourth Prize.
The Faculty Panel’s decisions are final. Competitors must not interfere with the judging process.
In the event a FINAL STAGE Competitor (or Competitors) is/are unable to perform in FINAL STAGE, the Faculty Panel will choose the next best Competitor(s) from FINAL STAGE to replace them. Once this happens, the original FINAL STAGE Competitor(s) is/are removed from FINAL STAGE.
There is to be no tied Prizes. Each prize will only be awarded to one person.
