Answer: Since 2023 we will be uploading your video for you on the LYPCO YouTube channel. You just need to upload a file during your application.

Question: What needs to be seen?
Answer: Your whole body shall be visible. If possible, place the camera on the right hand side, so that your right hand is closer to the camera.

Answer: No, the given length of the performance shall not be exceeded; it is allowed to have a few seconds before, after and inbetween pieces as long as it doesn’t exceed 60 seconds in total. Otherwise, your video will be disqualified.
