WPTA CA-USA IPC APPLICATION PROCEDURE - PERFORMERS

Preliminaries Application Fees

In order to apply for the WPTA CA-USA IPC, please follow this procedure:

1) APPLICATION FEE

Process the application fee(s) online (www.wpta.info/CAUSA/events/ipc)

Before completing the payment, you should be satisfied with number of registration fees in your shopping basket, as well as the total amount you are paying.

After successfully processing the registration fee(s), you will get a confirmation email.

Please forward this confirmation email to usa-california@wpta.info and make sure to keep the original email received, as you will need it in order to complete the application form.

2) WPTA CA-USA IPC RULES AND APPLICATION FORM

Please visit the WPTA CA-USA IPC page: www.wpta.info/CAUSA/events/ipc

Download the WPTA CA-USA IPC Rules and Application Form.

Please read both documents to understand all essential information and get organized for completing the Application Form.

We recommend saving the Application Form locally on your computer, so you can revert to it as you need in order to fully complete all required fields.

Please use the Word version of the Application Form, and feel free to adjust any fields in order to personalize the Form and convey any specific information.

If you are applying with more than one entry, you can use one Application Form.

3) AUDITION AND ASSESSMENT

If you wish to be auditioned by a WPTA-appointed judge, please get in touch with the WPTA CA-USA IPC office to arrange the audition. The audition must take place after you have paid the application fee online. Please make sure to facilitate the recording of the audition (audio only), as you will need to send the recording to your judge by email after the audition (the judge will then send the recording to WPTA CA-USAIPC). Please note that the recording of the live audition is your responsibility and not the responsibility of the judge. However in some cases the judge may agree to arrange the recording for you and send it directly to us. The judge will also send us the assessment grade and other audition details.

If the judge is already familiar with your playing, they can send us the assessment grade without auditioning you. In this case (or in case you are applying without being assessed/auditioned by a local judge), you should send us an audio-visual recording of your performance (either as a web-posted link or as an email attachment). Please see details in the WPTA CA-USA IPC Rules.
