Filling in the Forms We have five forms that you may need to fill in when entering an eisteddfod, exam or competition. All of these forms can be found on our website. Form Number One: Performers’ Declaration Form for Eisteddfods and Music Competitions This is the form you need to fill out every time you enter an eisteddfod or competition to certify that you are either performing from original scores or from a licensed photocopy, arrangement or transcription. If you are performing from a photocopy, arrangement or transcription, you will need a letter from the publisher confirming that they have licensed the sheet music, unless it is a public domain work. Form Number Two: Temporary Copy for Use by an Adjudicator in an Eisteddfod/Music Competition. This is the form you fill out if the adjudicator of your eisteddfod or competition requires a photocopy of your music to follow along with while you play. You are permitted to make one photocopy for each adjudicator (and no more than one per adjudicator) and you need to attach this form to every copy. The organisers are not permitted to give copies back to you and must destroy them once your section is finished. Form Number Three: Temporary Copy for Use by an Examiner You must fill in Form Number One every time you enter an eisteddfod or competition to declare what kind of sheet music you are performing from. You should fill in this form if you need to make a copy of your music for an examiner to follow along with in an exam. For example, your List D extra work for an AMEB exam may need to be copied for the examiner because you only have one original, from which you will perform. 6
You may only make one copy per examiner and each must have this declaration form attached to it. The photocopy needs to be destroyed by the examiner at the conclusion of your exam and you must not ask for it back. Form Number Four: Orchestral and Band Auditions This form is to certify that any photocopies you make for band or orchestral auditions have been made from an original and have been licensed by the copyright owner. The copies need to be handed to the audition panel after the audition is complete and the form needs to remain attached. Form Five: Temporary Copy for the Use by an Accompanist in an Eisteddfod or Music Competition If you need to make a copy for your accompanist in an eisteddfod or competition, you are permitted to do so as long as you fill in this form and attach it to the music for the performance. The accompanist must give this form back to the competitor at the conclusion of their section and destroyed immediately by them.
