If you are applying to this category you are one step closer to become true professional guitarist. For those who have achieved a winning streak in the lower categories so far, each new competition is a demanding chalange: expectations are bursting in all directions. Try not to burden yourself with things like what others expect of you, and keep in mind that competition is only a part of your development story, not just a purpose in itself. On the other hand, if you have not competed so far and now you are finally going to, that means you are a winner already. Because of your courage and strong decision. Any recognition will be welcome, but the preparation process is what will raise your level of playing. You are investing your time completely, your emotions and your energy. At least one member of the jury will recognize it. Furthermore you will have a chance for private jury class and get a descriptive grade. These conversations are often far worthier than mere points.
