What’s the deal?
Young composers can submit one composition for piano or any other harmonic instrument, lasting between three and five minutes. The competition is held under the patronage of the Ministry of Culture, underscoring its importance and prestige.
Why should you care?
This competition is more than just a platform for young talents to shine; it’s a reminder of the vital role culture and art play in our society. Though young, Andrija Čikić left a mark that lives on through this event. The Kolarac Endowment sends a clear message: young composers are the future of music and culture.
How to apply?
