The judges then provide written feedback in addition to a rating. If a student receives the highest rating, “Superior Recitalist,” from both judges, he or she is invited to play in the winners recital the following day. Students who receive a “Superior Recitalist” rating from one judge and a “Superior” rating from the other judge do not play in the recital but will receive a medal. Students who receive a “Superior” rating from both judges receive a ribbon. All students receive a certificate for participation. This event is open to non-NOMTA members.
