Leduc Rotary Music Festival Awards
Where applicable classes of students have been placed into award groups.
The following awards are presented for the adjudicator’s choice of best performer who has achieved 85% (Gold) or better.
Awards are given to entrants 28 years and younger who study or reside in the City of Leduc or any municipality or area within the County of Leduc.
A complete list of award groups can be found listed HERE.
*We will continue to encourage the spirit of learning and each participant’s success. Placement or award winners will not be recognized at the festival performance rather, the teachers of award winners will be contacted after their discipline is completed and acknowledged at the Awards Gala. Adjudicator’s marks will be recorded on the student’s adjudication sheets. Although marks will still be recorded by the secretary and used to determine award winners, we are joining most festivals in using Standards. These Standards will be indicated on the certificate presented to each performer at the end of their class.

Medallion qualifications
Medallions are awarded to the top students in each discipline entering two provincially qualifying pieces within a given discipline.
The top two marks for each participant are used to determine the average mark and a third is used in case of a tie. A mark of 85% must be achieved to be eligible.
The three levels are Gold, Silver and Bronze.
