FAQ

Does the application video have to be a single, unedited concert recording?

No. It is perfectly acceptable to submit a video edited from different concert performances, provided that the total duration is at least 20 minutes and all recordings have been made no earlier than 2025.

 

Are there any requirements regarding the camera angle?

No. There are no specific requirements regarding the camera angle.

The most important thing is that the video presents your conducting skills in the best possible way and allows the Preliminary Selection Committee to evaluate your artistic and professional abilities. We recommend including footage where both your conducting technique and your interaction with the choir can be clearly observed.

 

How many applicants will be selected for the Competition?

All applicants who meet the artistic standards of the Competition and are positively evaluated by the Preliminary Selection Committee will be invited to participate in the First Round. The Competition is intended to bring together the strongest young choral conductors, therefore the final number of participants will depend on the overall quality of the applications received.
