Instead of being divided into age groups, Junior Music Festivals are divided into sections by the grade/ability of the performer. This means that all participants have a chance to shine and even win prizes, even late beginners. Any recognised Exam board grading system is acceptable.

Trophy prizes are awarded in all sections, with all participants receiving a Certificate of Participation and a report from the adjudicator. Entrants must be aged 18 years and under as at 31 July. They may enter for more than one venue.  (See website for Terms and Conditions.)

MIRIAM HYDE AWARD - The Miriam Hyde Piano Award will be offered at the Junior Music Festival Burwood. The competitor must play a piece composed by Miriam Hyde and the time limit will be 5 minutes. This award is open to piano students only, beginners to 8th Grade, duets not permitted. A $150.00 cash prize and a trophy will be awarded to the winner. This section will be offered on the condition that 3 or more competitors have entered.
