Summary/Abstract: The text discusses the participation in choral competitions and festivals from the point of view of a juror and that of the director of a choir ensemble. It presents the participation in competitions as an opportunity to prepare the repertoire that was chosen in a diligent manner. There is a comprehensive discussion of the disciplines/criteria in which the juror evaluates: the sound and the culture of sound of a choir, the standards of vocal technique, the intonation- and rhythm-related precision, the adequate employment of means of musical expression, especially dynamics and tempo, the stylishness of interpretation, the drama of the competition programme, the contact of the choir with the conductor and the general impression. There is also a presentation of the examples of descriptive evaluation of ensembles which were presented during choir competitions.
