Audition Submission Form
All auditions will be submitted via Submittable. In the form you'll fill out your initial registration for OAYO and then submit your videos. You can start this at any time even if your videos aren't ready: you'll be able to save your progress! Auditions will be listened to and results will be sent out on a rolling basis through December 28th, so submit your audition as soon as you're ready! We cannot guarantee that specific instrument and ensemble spots will be available through December 28th, so we encourage you to audition as early as you can.
