  • Do not include the student’s name anywhere in the video or link.

  • The video title should include only the name of the piece and the composer.

  • The time limit is strictly enforced, so choose your repertoire carefully.

  • Set the YouTube video to “Unlisted”.

  • Submit the YouTube link by the deadline. Late submissions will not be

    considered, and the application fee will not be refunded.

  • Email the link to nlpa.internationalyoungartists@gmail.com with the student’s

    name in the subject line.
