<5a> Any Prize Winner who exceeds the time limit listed for the Prize Winners' Concerts (which is different from the actual competition) will be disqualified from winning the Outstanding Gold Medalists' Award at the Prize Winners' Concerts.
<5b> The USOMC committee has agreed to allow the contestants of (1) Showcase Piano Solo (2) Showcase Piano Duet/Duo (3) Piano Concerto, (4) Showcase Instrumental Solo and (5) Showcase Instrumental Ensemble to play music beyond the indicated time allowed for the actual Competition. To achieve the best results:
* the time for each piece must be accurately recorded by each contestant on his/her event registration, which enable the USOMC staffs to correctly estimate the length of the event - to give the judges enough time to hear the music; and
* if there is not enough time, the judges may want to cut some pieces short as they see fit, which will not reflect negatively on the contestants.
