Any eligible winner of the main Solo Prizes, Ensemble category winners and the Overseas award winner will be featured in the new Recommended Artist Guide and have the opportunity to be booked for performances with Making Music’s member promoters.

Gold Medal Scholarship
Following a generous legacy received in memory of Mani Bhumgara, the Gold Medal winner receives a £5,000 scholarship, administered and mentored by ROSL ARTS, to be spent flexibly on projects which will help support and build their career.

Overseas Awards
The Overseas Awards showcase non-UK Commonwealth musicians from all stages of the competition (including the first stage video round) who have shown exceptional promise. Musicians will be invited to perform at this special evening on the 24^th March 2026, where various prizes are available, including the ROSL Overseas Award.

Deadline for applications: Monday 5 January 2026 at 5pm.

Eligibility
The 2026 competition is open to citizens of the UK, Commonwealth and former Commonwealth Countries, the U.S.A, all EU and EEA countries, Switzerland, Japan and South Korea for instrumentalists and singers between the ages of 18 and 30 as of 15^th May 2026. You must have citizenship at the time of application.
For ensembles, at least half the members of a group must be between the ages of 18 and 30 as of 15^th May 2026, and the average age of the group must also be 30 or under.

Collaborative pianists
Duo pianists are not provided for the semi-final and final rounds but can be recommended. Collaborative piano partners may be of any age or nationality; however only those who are from the UK, Commonwealth and former Commonwealth Countries, the U.S.A, all EU and EEA countries, Switzerland, Japan and South Korea between the ages of 18 and 30 as at 15 May 2026 will be considered for the Collaborative Piano prize. Entry for this award is via the application of the solo prize candidate.

Competition Rules
The ROSL Artistic Director’s decision to accept or refuse any entry is final. The decision of the Adjudicating Panel is final and no correspondence will be entered into. The Adjudicators reserve the right to withhold any prize should the required standard not be attained.

Candidates must have relevant nationality at the time of entering the competition.

Solo entries are for one instrument only, but repertoire can include doubling instruments from the same family (for example a clarinettist could include works for bass or e flat clarinet, or an oboist could include a work for cor anglais).

Period instruments: where possible we will arrange hire of a harpsichord to accompany solo period instruments if your entire programme requires it. Due to stage size restrictions we are unable to accommodate fortepiano.

Once a competitor has won a prize in the Annual Music Competition, they are not eligible for that prize in a subsequent year. Previous winners of the main solo awards are not eligible to enter the Annual Music Competition as soloists again.

The ROSL Artistic Director reserves the right to allow any stage of the Annual Music Competition to be recorded, broadcast or televised. Any resulting material from this remains the property of ROSL and cannot be repurposed elsewhere.

We will not communicate through third parties – each candidate must have their own direct email address and contact details.

Page turners are not provided at any stage of the competition.

Candidates must be available for all relevant audition dates, including the Overseas Awards evening on 24 March 2026 for non-UK Commonwealth competitors and the Gold Medal Final at Wigmore Hall on Friday 15 May 2026.

Once a candidate has been accepted by the Annual Music Competition, alteration to the submitted programme will only be accepted in exceptional circumstances. We encourage you to consider your programming carefully at application stage.

We only collect the information that is necessary to carry out normal business operations. We keep several categories of personal data on applicants of our competitions in order to carry out effective and efficient processes. We keep this data in applicant files relating to each programme and we also hold the data within our computer systems.

The types of information we hold may include:

• Personal details such as title, pronoun, name, postal address, contact telephone number(s), email address;
• name and contact details of your next of kin;
• Photographs, audio and/or video footage
• Gender
• Date of birth
• Nationality

• Passport information or birth certificate
• Any other information you provide to us by email, letter, telephone, social media, via our website or in person
• Anonymous information including demographic information you provide via surveys

Special categories of data

Some of the information that you give us, due to its nature, has more potential to cause harm if not handled correctly. “Special category data” is specific personal data that is often sensitive in nature and must be treated with extra care. The sensitive personal data we collect and hold about you may include:

• Disability and long-term health conditions
• sexual orientation
• ethnicity
• religion

We carry out processing activities using special category data:

1. for the purposes of equal opportunities monitoring
2. to determine reasonable adjustments

Most commonly, we will process special categories of data when the following applies:

1. you have given explicit consent to the processing
2. we must process the data in order to carry out our legal obligations
3. we must process data for reasons of substantial public interest
4. you have already made the data public.

We sometimes request sensitive personal data in our applicant and participant surveys, in order to assist us with our diversity monitoring, which we are required to report on as part of our funding.
