There is a registration fee of €5 per group. All groups must have pre-registered to take part. Each group may have a minimum of 3 participants and a maximum of 6 participants. The age limit is a minimum of 9 years old with no senior limit, therefore the category dictates that participants are ‘9 years and over’. There will be 3 or 4 designated performance areas in Tralee town. Groups will be allocated a 20/30 minute time slot (time slots shall be dependent on volume of entry.) Time slots at each performance area will be staggered by ten minutes to allow the adjudicator to have sufficient time with each group. Adjudicator(s) who will visit each group at least once and possibly twice during their time slot. Results will be given on the main gig rig in the Square Tralee, immediately after the competition, as soon as the adjudicator has had time to finalise their decision.

The concert will take place on Wednesday 17th May in the Rose Hotel from 8pm and will be opened by Tadhg Ó Maolcatha, Cathaoirleach CCÉ Comhairle na Mumhan.
