2025 Baipu International Competition Video Requirements

YouTube video link(s) showcasing your performance base on the following requirements of the competition category:

1. 1. 1. Each repertoire must have its own video link (for the avoidance of doubt, there is no need to provide a self-introduction or announce the repertoire at the beginning of the video); 

      2. The videos must be uploaded to the third-party channel designated by SBCMG (e.g., YouTube or Youku) as “unlisted”;

      3. The videos must be recorded in 2025 and must not be edited;

      4. The videos should be a single take with clear visuals and sound quality;

      5. The video should clearly capture the entire instrument, and the performer must be fully visible in the frame;

      6. The performances must be memorized (for the avoidance of doubt, any performances not memorized will not be scored); and

      7. Formal attire (including shoes) must be worn.

      8. The videos must be recorded against a clean, uncluttered background. A plain, solid-color backdrop or a concert hall setting preferred. Avoid messy or distracting environments. 

      9. Please note that the videos uploaded with the application will be used for both the first and final round of the competition. Applicants cannot change repertoires once application is submitted.
