The competitions provide an opportunity for participants, in a friendly and supportive environment to showcase their talent and improve their standard of performance. Adjudicators provide constructive feedback and written commentary to all competitors to encourage and advance their musical growth. The Festival recognises that the Irish Language is at the heart of our culture, and the Irish Language competitions in our Festival programme, allows choristers and soloists the opportunity to engage with and perform traditional Irish songs, and to embrace our heritage through song.

​The Festival promotes a culture where choral singing and instrumental performances are valued and supported, by encouraging the general public to attend the many competitions and to enjoy the richness of the performances.
