Categories: WWC2026

This document outlines the primary changes from WWC2024 to WWC2026.

Categories and Awards

  • The title for the 1st Place winner in the Hikifuki Category will be “Grand Champion” (previously, no title was awarded for overall winner in WWC).
  • The title for the 1st Place winner in the Adult Division of the Recorded Accompaniment Category will be “Champion” (previously, 1st Place winner in WWC).
  • In the Hikifuki Category, accompaniment using instruments that cannot play scales (such as percussion) will not be permitted. In such cases, the entry will be classified under the Allied Arts Category instead of Hikifuki.

Entry Guidelines

  • Resubmission (replacement) of entries for the Recorded Audition will not be permitted, even within the submission period.

The information provided is current as of September 1, 2024. While we strive to minimize significant changes, please be aware that adjustments may be necessary. Please refer to future announcements for updates.
Except for the points listed below, most aspects will remain similar to the previous event.

Dear all,

Thank you all to join us at WWC2024.
We really regret to not have more time to talk with each of you, however we wish that you could talk with each other and made many many whistler friends.

Right now we are still doing the remain work, but we will be translating the score sheet and send it to everyone eventually. Please be patient and wait, we wish to send it as sooner as we finished.

Cheers
