This is not an international competition (is only for UK citizens) so it is not really a relevant stepstone towards an international carreer
It’s open to any citizen of a Commonwealth country, so not just Uk citizens.
Soprano Siân Dicker is a remarkable young singer; she performed recently at the Oxford Lieder Festival in a recital with Krystal Tunnicliffe.
