   1.  1-2 free-form (content at recommenders' discretion) letters of recommendation from music professionals that can be uploaded by the applicant to the Acceptd application. NOTE: If your recommender does not wish to send them to you, have them email the recommendation directly to admin@nashvillechopin.org, and upload a pdf to the Acceptd application that says "Recommendation sent directly from "name@example.com" to admin@nashvillechopin.org.

   2. High-quality professional photograph.

   3. YouTube link of audition video recording (live or studio performance within last 24 months) of recommended 12 - 20 minute length (no hard length limitations will be applied but the screening jury will choose a maximum of 35 minutes to listen to), and should include one Chopin work that will be performed if admitted to the live competition. NOTE: The screening recording does not have to be a single, unbroken session. However, if you have multiple YouTube links, please create a playlist in YouTube Studio of the different URLs as explained in this article so that you only submit one URL.​​
