4. IMPORTANT 2021 PROMOTION: If you have already paid to advance to the final round in any of our previous competitions, please fill out the 2021 Promotion Form, and we will return $5 to you through PayPal for every performance of yours that advanced to the final round of a previous competition if you submit the application fee to advance to the final round of the 2021 Classical Music Competition (Ex. John Doe paid to advance to the final rounds of the 2020 Contemporary Music Competition and 2020 Holiday Music Competition. Because 2 of his performances advanced to the final rounds of previous competitions, we will return 2 x $5 = $10 to him through PayPal). Please note that this promotion is only valid for competitions in the year 2021 and that we cannot return more money than the cost of the application fee (Ex. Jane Doe paid to advance to the final rounds of 9 previous competitions, so she expects 9 x $5 = $45 to be returned to her, but since the solo application fee is only $39.97, we will return a maximum of $39.97).
