Setting rules let your applicants know what you are looking for. This is necessary for the success of your opportunity. You don’t want to put so many that people feel it is impossible to participate. Instead, be specific enough to cover your needs and let the applicants know what kind of piece, ensemble, the duration you are looking for.
What are the details that will help their submission be successful? Are there any details they should avoid? What makes a piece be within the rules, and what disqualifies the piece?
Rules will also help your judges knowing that you plan to curate the submissions to meet your organization’s skills and objectives. It will also allow your collaborators to communicate with applicants. Setting up rules will help your opportunity to be fair and to offer people a path for success.
