Technically, it's sound, you hit a few wrong notes without interrupting the flow of the music, slow practice for a few times a day for a few weeks would probably ensure that's a thing of the past, and you got till April.... Musically it's not bad either, however I did notice that in the beginning you seem to cut your phrases short by starting the next phrase a bit too soon. Nothing's wrong with taking your time to make the piece 'breathe'.

Having said that, I mostly noticed it in the beginning, so it could also be just because you needed to get in the right 'flow' and not something you need to work on, but rather something you just need to think of before you start to play.

All in all a decent and confidently sounding performance, just play it through every day for 4 or 5 times at a slow tempo, and take your time whenever you feel like it, to play it in full speed and experiment with how you would like it to sound, so you can play it as if it were improvised, and you will blow the judges away with your playing!
Good luck!
