@Luderart: No minimum time limit, you're good. @MuseScience: Thanks for making the list of those competing. I'll remain the sole judge in my competitions though and for a few reasons: 1. I like to choose a piece I feel I can interpret as a pianist. 2. Though I like a good challenge I don't want to be stuck with a piece that's impossible to play. 3. Ultimately the whole competition simply runs smoother. 4. I could think of more reasons but those are basically the most important ones :thumbsup: Overall I strive to be a fair judge. I'm just as likely to pick a piece that's super "modern" as I am super "conservative". Those labels mean nothing to me, I simply judge every piece on it's own merits. My mantra has always been, "Good music is simply the result of inspiration and hard work."

There are style guides available all over the internet. There are even more style guides available for purchase. There are exponentially more free scores available for study. I get tired of seeing people ask questions on here that can easily be resolved by a quick google search and a very small amount of personal research.

As in proper notation for dynamics and such? Definitely look at some published scores, but here is an official style guide from a group of the big music publishers from a few years back: http://icking-music-archive.org/lists/sottisier/notation.pdf
