GEET

What is it?

As the title itself implies, It is a solo vocal competition based on Eastern / Light Indian music. So far in Antaragni, this competition is the most famous and truly celebrated one among all music events attracting sufficiently large number of performers from all across the nation. The competition is fierce so make sure you have a good level of competency.

Rules

The composition chosen can be any movie song or from any Eastern album. Self-composed songs will be highly appreciated. However it does not add extra weightage to the judgment part. Semi-classical music pieces such as Dadra, Thumri, Kajri, etc. are not allowed, though ghazals are allowed. Karaoke piece is also allowed.

The event consists of two rounds. First round is the preliminary. Participants qualifying in this round would proceed to the final round which will also have a Judges Choice Round in addition to usual Participants' Choice Round.

Guidelines for Distinguished Performance:

1. You must confine your performance within stipulated time limits otherwise it will lead to negative feedback by the judges. And finally it may affect your judgment.

2. Since the judgment is purely based on vocal capabilities of the performer so no credit will be given for accompanists' performance. Overall your composition must be sung prettily.

3. In final round, you would be given by the judges a random piece to perform so keep yourself prepared accordingly .

Judgment Criteria:

Solely on the vocal capabilities of the performer.
