Will there be a ConsTest 2027?

TBC.

How can Bands enter ConsTest 2027?

TBC.

How much is the entry fee?

In 2026, we crunched the numbers, and tried to appropriately balance the entry fee with the percentage chance of placement for our lower bands. We took the opportunity to introduce a new system for our entry fees - a dynamic price range - whilst still keeping our entry fee under £200, and raising our individual section prizes.

Championship/1st Section Entry Price - £190.

2nd/3rd Section Entry Price - £170.

4th Section Entry Price - £150.
