S-1 世界青年尺八大赛

四年一次的国际性尺八大赛将在今年(2008)于澳洲雪梨第一次举办. 对日本的年轻演奏家而言,尺八比赛并不陌生,以往日本国内一年至少会有两场大型的尺八比赛,但因无法国际化,总是对其他国家的尺八爱好者有一些遗憾,毕竟国际上还存有许多优秀的演奏家,或尺八狂热份子.而且清一色的日本裁判,对其他国家的参赛者多少构成一些压力.

这次的大赛,对台湾国内年轻的尺八爱好者而言,这是一次很值得参加的赛事. 对提升国内尺八的曝光度也有一定程度的帮助.

初赛报名费全免,没有繁複的报名表格要填写,手续简便,如果入围,複赛享有报名费NTD14,600.全免,加上机票补助NTD14,600. 奖金另计.

As promised, World Shakuhachi Festival 2008 Director Dr. Riley Lee has released the rules for the "S-1 World Grand Prix; The Young Player’s Competition for Shakuhachi at WSF08". Drum roll please.......

The subject of the email should be “S-1 World Grand Prix preliminary”.

In the body of the email, include your name, address (including country) and the name of the piece. Please use either English or Japanese.

The Competition Supervisor will immediately send a confirmation email after receiving your entry. If you do not receive a reply within 48 hours, please check to see if your email and mp3 attachment went through successfully.

Contest Entry Fee: none

Final Selection: Entrants who are chosen in the preliminary round will compete in the final round during WSF2008, by performing in the Finalists Concert in Sydney.

Choice of Piece: You can perform any shakuhachi solo, regardless of genre. One’s own compositions however, are not acceptable. (The piece submitted in the initial application must be the same piece performed during the Finalists Concert.)

Time Limit: 4 minutes or less for the preliminary round (an abridged version of the piece is acceptable). 6 minutes or less for the final round

Judges: Christopher Yohmei Blasdel, Teruo Furuya, Yoshio Kurahashi, Riley Lee, Hozan Nomura, Veronique Piron, Ralph Samuelson, Ronnie Seldin, David Wheeler. Judges for the preliminary round and the final round may differ.

Notification of Results of Preliminary Round: 15 March 2008 on WSF08 website

Prize Money: The following number of finalists will be chosen from these countries:
Japan – 5; The Americas – 3; Australia – 2 ;Rest of the World (Europe, Asia, Africa, etc) – 2.  Total finalists: 12

Finalists of the preliminary round will receive free registration for WSF08 ($500).

The ten finalists outside of Australia will receive an additional $500 in cash assistance towards their Sydney airfare.

The top three contestants will be chosen at the Finalist Concert and awarded the following prize money: 1st  $1200, 2nd $1000, 3rd $800. All prize money is in Australian dollars.

Jury System: Anyone can apply to be ‘public’ judge for the preliminary round. By paying a participation fee of AUS$20, one will receive the original recordings from all of the preliminary round contestants, after the closing date, and can vote for one or more of the contestants, to a value of 2 points. The total points voted in this manner will make up a maximum of 20% of the final decision for the preliminary round.

Deadline for applying to be a ‘public’ judge is 29 February 2008.

If you are interested in becoming a ‘public’ judge, keep checking the registration page on WSF08 website. Eventually (before February 2008!) you will be able to apply and pay on-line to become a ‘public’ judge.

You do not have to attend WSF08 to become a ‘public’ judge.

The ‘public’ jury system will not apply in the final round of the Competition."

Dr. Riley Lee

This is a great opportunity and I recommend everybody who is eligible and who has any aspiration to be a shakuhachi performer to work up a piece and enter. Please do not speculate about what the judges are looking for or about your personal musical shortcomings. Just go for it! You have nothing to lose, the worse thing that happens is you practice a lot and learn a piece. Even if you don't win it might lead to other things. So be positive. Let's show the Festival what kind of enthusiasm there is for shakuhachi. It's an excellent panel of judges with no particular bias.
