Dear music & theater professionals!

We appreciate your desire and willingness to be a part of the Rising Star competition! 

Our competition is unique and stands out for its mission to motivate and engage both younger students and older beginners, offering them an entry into the competitive world. This opportunity is particularly valuable for students who may not have many chances to participate in traditional high-level competitions. We do accept all levels – beginners-advanced, ages 4-18, and all styles of music & arts.

We prioritize educational value by hiring high-level professional judges who provide meaningful feedback on technique, artistry, and musical expression to students and their teachers. This unique opportunity provides children from around the world with an experience they wouldn’t typically encounter, and we’re delighted to have you play a big role in it!

As a non-profit organization, we accept all children who would like to participate and offer free entrance scholarships to students from low-income families and regions facing crises, ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder their participation. We aim to empower as many children and teachers as possible, recognizing the transformative power of music & arts in enriching lives and fostering personal growth.
