The NPS competitions have been held since the very first days of the society and provide an opportunity for all pipers to share their music and as a showcase for the instrument.
With the ongoing restrictions on holding public gatherings, the 2020 competitions were held as an online event. Pre-recorded video entries for the playing classes were judged in advance and a compilation of relevant extracts shown at the online competitions event, which went live at 7.15pm on Saturday 17 October.
2020 judges were Alistair Anderson, Andy May and Kathryn Tickell.
