We are pleased to announce that the Virtual Young Musician of the Year competition 2023 is now open on Global Campus for entries and this year it's bigger and better than ever!

If you play an instrument, sing, or compose music, we want to hear from you! 

It doesn’t matter if you play classical music on the recorder, jazz on your flute, or sing Disney classics in an opera style there is a category for you to enter in Virtual Young Musician of the Year 2023.

How do I enter?

To enter you first need to choose which category you’re going to enter.

The categories are split into two sections:

• Classical/Art Music
• Popular Music.

So, it doesn’t matter if you love Bach or Beyonce, Mozart or Miles Davis, there’s a category for you to showcase your musical talent in.

If you are unsure which category to enter, please speak to either Miss Want (lucy.want@bisad.ae) or Miss Cyster (drew.cyster@bisad.ae) who will help you in your decision.

Each music category will have 3 age ranges, and a different time limit for the piece of music you can enter:

• Ages 7-10, 4 minutes
• Ages 11-14, 6 minutes
