Prose
There are many opportunities for prose reading at WCAF! From prepared prose reading to sightreading, there are competitive and non-competitive opportunities for everyone, of any age.
All large and small group entries are FREE and all solo and duets entries have 25% off the entry fees if completed by 1st December 2025.
​We do not believe any enthusiastic performer should miss out on WCAF because of financial concerns or additional needs. We want to make taking part as easy as possible and to ensure we include everyone who wants to take part. Please contact admin@wcaf.org.uk to discuss any accessibility requirements or to discover more about free places.
