Our 2026 adjudication team is presented below. Please note that adjudicators may be replaced in the event of unforeseen circumstances that make it impossible for them to fulfill their commitments.

IMPORTANT : The Festival is no longer engaging adjudicators in low-enrolment disciplines unless there is sufficient enrolment to warrant it. Determinations will be made after the registration period ends. In the event of low enrolment, guitar will be adjudicated in asynchronous online format. Speech arts will be adjudicated by the voice and choral adjudicator. Brass and/or woodwinds will be adjudicated by the Bands adjudicator. If it is not possible for a participant to be adjudicated by an in-person adjudicator, asynchronous online adjudication will be offered.

Refunds will not be issued if a participant declines to be adjudicated in the prescribed format by the adjudicator assigned by the Festival.
