If you wish your entry fee to be refunded please advise your bank account details to the Secretary. Email address: [email protected] It is also possible for fees to be held over until 2021. Please advise by 30th April.

Don’t forget to advise your bank account details if it is your wish for the entry fee to be refunded. Thank you to everyone for your appreciative comments and co-operation in this very different time. We look forward to seeing all the competitors in 2021.

23.01.2022 Unfortunately I am advising everyone that the Theatrical Dance sections of Launceston Competitions will also be cancelled. Therefore there will not be anyone in the Princess foyer to receive any further entries tomorrow. The dancing teachers recommended to the Committee that it was better to cancel now than wait until 27th April. The Committee then voted to cancel. The Committee also took into account that the likelihood of the virus problem being more serious and more prolonged than previously thought. Entry fees will be refunded in due course, don’t be impatient.

23.01.2022 It is the time of the year to think about entries for this year’s competitions. To ensure your entries are received correctly, please submit them in one of the two ways stated on the entry form. I received a faxed or scanned entry last night which is absolutely unreadable and I have no idea of the details on the form.

12.01.2022 I am concerned that I have not received an entry form for the following people. Their fees appear to have been paid on our statement in February. Mia Gebka Jaylee Kenna Mackenzie Bowman Michaela Oakley... Can someone please advise. See more

11.01.2022 At a meeting last night the Committee of Launceston Competition decided to cancel the Speech and Drama, Music and Highland Dancing sections of this year’s competitions to be held in May and June. As the Theatrical dance sections are scheduled to be held later in the year it was voted that they be re-assessed on the 27th April. If there is no change in the Coronavirus situation, or it worsens, on or before that date these sections will also be cancelled. If there are any res...trictions on the health and well being of participants or the numbers allowed into the theatre these sections will not go ahead. The Committee certainly do not wish to put anyone at risk of contracting the virus. If that is the eventual outcome, all entrants will be offered a refund of their entry fees. It is quite sad for the Committee to have to make these decisions as it is only the second time the competitions have had to be cancelled. The first was in 1935 due to the financial situation at the time.

11.01.2022 Entry fees for the following people have appeared on Launceston Competitions bank statement. However, no entry form has been received. Whoever teaches them or has contact please advise an entry form is necessary, it is not sufficient to just pay the fee. Bridie Findlay Aashna Dahal Iris Alberti Scarlett Reid

10.01.2022 The Launceston Competitions thank all entrants for their continued support of our annual event. Unfortunately we are experiencing difficulty deciding the best way to refund entry fees. Our options appear to be: (A) post cheques for amounts over $100. (B) Offer full or part refund for smaller amounts.... (C) Donation of entry fees. (D) Roll over entry fees for the 2021 competitions. You will need to notify the Secretary by 30th April, 2020 of your choice and method of any reimbursement. If it is to be paid into your bank account you must advise your bank details (BSB and account number) on this notification.
