Glasgow Music Festival Association actively encourages and develops interest and participation in amateur performing arts. Individuals and groups of all ages benefit from the Festival's unique performance opportunities. During the first two weeks in March, an annual Festival takes place in various venues across the city where performers in music, speech and drama, and dance are given the opportunity to perform in front of an audience and receive advice and feedback from experienced adjudicators, all members of BIFF (British and International Federation of Festivals). Every participant receives a Performance Certificate, and some receive a place certificate, a trophy (named) certificate or a monetary prize. There is a Last Night Concert where the best performances are showcased and prizes (monetary and trophies) awarded.
