Some of our Russian Bears are missing!

Don’t miss out on your last chance to enter the WYGF09 Guitar Competition in association with Trinity Guildhall. We already have some fabulous entries (including some Russian Bears!) which can be viewed on our very own WYGFTV channel on YouTube, so if you’re working on your final version then hurry, hurry, hurry.

In case you missed out on the competition launch earlier this year (where were you?!) we are looking for winning performances of our set works, all taken from the Trinity Guildhall syllabus. We would like you to upload videos of yourselves playing your entry to our YouTube WYGF channel and then the composers themselves will be selecting three finalists in each category who will each have their video performances shown at WYGF09 in front of our grand jury.  The prizes will be an individual lesson with the composer and a WYGF goodie bag.

So, the set-pieces are:

• Peter Nuttall: Legend – Trinity Guildhall Grade 1

• Gary Ryan: Russian Bear – Trinity Guildhall Grade 3

• Helen Sanderson: West Coast – Trinity Guildhall Grade 4

• Vincent Lindsey-Clark: Cycles in the Avenue – Trinity Guildhall Grade 6

• Gary Ryan: Rondo Rodeo – Trinity Guildhall Grade 8

And here’s our step-by-step guide to uploading your competition entry.

1. Make your video
2. Upload it to your own YouTube account. If you haven’t got one already you can create one especially for the occasion.
3. Once your video is ‘live’ then SUBSCRIBE to the WYGF09TV channel at http://uk.youtube.com/WYGF09
4. Link your video clip to the channel and we will be featuring some of the best performances in our WYGF blog.
5. Don’t forget to become a WYGF09 TV friend as well!

You can also click on the clip below to go straight to our site. The only rules are that you need to be attending the 2009 festival (and therefore within the WYGF age limit) and you can only enter one category.

We’ve just extended the deadline just until 11 July so make the most of it and get your videos ready to upload.
