Adjudicators David Wynne and Kevin Gill

The winner of this competition will receive a cash prize of £200, an engraved crystal trophy, and the opportunity to be one of the vocal soloists at a Birmingham Festival Choral Society Concert at a mutually agreed future date for which they will receive the usual BFCS soloist fee [currently £400].
