FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How much does it cost to enter?
It's free. The condition is that you purchase a song from the New UK Musicals site to sing. So not only do you get to take part in the competition, you also get a new song for your rep. What have you got to lose?
Can I enter more than one song?
Yes! You can enter up to a total of three songs to the competition because we know that it can be really difficult to choose from all of the brilliant songs! But you don't have to enter three if you don't want to. One or two is absolutely fine!
Can my video have live accompaniment instead of a backing track?
Absolutely, we love live performances as well.
Who will be judging my song?
Judges are soon to be announced but you can be assured that only top industry professionals will be judging your performance. Previous judges have included Olivier Award Winners Clive Rowe and Rebecca Trehearn and writer of the smash hit musical SIX, Toby Marlow, amongst many others.
I don't live in the UK, can I still enter your competition?
Of course, but if you win the 1st prize of a West End Performance you will need to be able to make your own way to London.
I've won first prize in one of your competitions before, can I enter again?
Yes, we'd love you to enter. But to keep things fair you will only be eligible for the audience prize because we want to make sure as many people benefit from our competitions as possible.
I've entered one of your competitions before. Can I use the same song that I have already sung?
I'm afraid not, part of our mission is to expose performers to lots of new material so we want to encourage you to find something new and sing that! There's over 300 songs on the site, so have a browse and find another brilliant one!
