Auditions - Teachers

After registration closes, vetting and remediation will take place November 7–12. Please watch for emails from cwrauditions@gmail.com, check your spam folder, and respond promptly to any requests for corrections. Teachers remain responsible for reviewing the accuracy and eligibility of their entries before submission. Judging assignments are scheduled to go out November 13, and all judging must be completed by December 3. All teachers entering students are required to judge. Categories with more than 15 participants will be subdivided, and each category or subcategory will be evaluated by three NATS adjudicators. Please allow enough time to complete your assignments and address any technical issues before the deadline. The top seven students in each category or subcategory will advance to the live semifinals. We anticipate announcing semifinalists by December 9, depending on the timely completion of vetting and judging. Some preliminary subcategories may be recombined for the live round to comply with national requirements.
