There's the BBC Choir of the Year and I think there's Chorister of the Year for singers to go for - but if you want to be specific, the competition should be called "Young Instrumentalist of the Year". There are few concertos for voice and orchestra as Mr Harwood infered!

I would also like to vent my displeasure about the competition if I may. Firstly - what are the judges on about! They seem to have pre-determined buzz words that they use when they're lost for words! A lot of their judgements are based on personal preference which I think is very wrong. Also, during the final that was on BBC2, the contestants were asked stupid questions before and imediately after they played their most important performances of their lives! A lot of the contestants were speechless at these points and I sympathised with them whole heartedly. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the music and it has hopefully "bigged up" classical music among youngsters.
