In line with BIFF guidelines we will be using the new marking scheme this year. Please see the table below for reference. It important to note that marks achieved this year should not be compared with marks achieved in the old marking scheme. This is a completely NEW marking scheme.

As with previous years, adjudication sheets will be electronic, but we will endeavour to get them out to you and the end of each performance day of the festival.

The aim of the scheme is to promote BIFF’s core values – Perform | Educate | Inspire with a greater emphasis on the written and verbal teaching points and offering positive feedback to the performer to build confidence and self-esteem.
