  • A selection panel of three gurus will review the submissions and assign points. The scores from all three gurus will be tallied to announce the four individuals who will perform in July. This year's judges are Ustad Mashkoor Ali Khan, Smt. Lalitha Mathur and Shri Samarth Nagarkar.
  • In order to minimize conflicts of interest, the panel of gurus will change every year
  • If there are multiple entries from the same school, preference will be given to nominees from the Gurus. In addition, in order to promote diversity of representation, only the top two scoring students from any one school may be selected as finalists.
