Video Submission Guide

To maintain the highest standards of fairness and professionalism, all competition submissions must adhere to the following guidelines. Please read carefully and follow them strictly.

1. General Requirements

  • ● Authenticity of Performance: Videos must feature the participant’s own performance. Any submission containing recordings of another violinist will not be scored, though a participation certificate will still be issued.
  • ● Accompaniment: If using the official accompaniment provided on the website, it must be pure piano audio and must not include any additional violin tracks (i.e., no "digital teacher" violin tracks).
  • ● Camera Angle: The video should clearly show the participant’s left and right hand technique and posture. A full-body frame is highly recommended.
  • ● Technical Specifications: Record using a smartphone or camera in MP4 format, with a maximum file size of 300MB (100–200MB recommended).

2. Uploading Instructions

  • Log in to the [Online Learning Centre] and access the competition management page.
  • Click the “Upload File” button to submit your performance video.
  • Uploaded videos will undergo manual verification; once approved (approximately 10 minutes), they will be available for playback.
  • If the video cannot be played, please re-upload. For technical support, contact the team:
    Email: info@zhangviolin.org | WeChat: Jacarandac

3. Recording Tips and Guidelines

  • ● Use a tripod or stable support to avoid camera shake.
  • ● Choose a simple background and avoid filming against windows.
  • ● Keep the camera height level with the violin.
  • ● Record in landscape mode only; vertical videos are not accepted.
  • ● Bowing direction should face the camera for technical clarity.
  • ● Adjust volume to ensure the violin sound is clear and prominent.

4. Additional Tips

Record multiple takes and review them before uploading, selecting the best performance for submission. Good video quality (proper lighting, clear angles, stable framing) helps jurors assess your performance accurately and fairly.
