Dear Sir/Madam, for the CIMC application form, what does "Please choose festival session" mean? What if I am only entering for the competition? Another question is whether I must enter the video urls into the form at the same time when I submit the application form? Can I update the urls later after I submit the application form? Thank you.

I have a string quartet comprised of students aged 12-15. Should they be in the Youth Artist level? They are interested to take part in the Rising Star category. May I know whether the 2 pieces can be 2 movements of the same work?
