Schools have reported problems – when the competition was set up what were the expectations in terms of volume of entrants/votes?
The response to the competition was overwhelming, and while every effort to cope with that demand was made, we felt that the only way to make this competition totally fair to all those involved was to put all the choirs before the panel. This was our first experience of running a website competition of this kind which has attracted such an unprecedented response, lessons have been learned and this will not be allowed to happen in the future.
