YO!Fest. Emerging bands European contest

The European Youth Forum, in cooperation with  Jeunesses Musicales International,  launches the successful concept of the Emerging Bands Contest.
​
The main aim is to find the best European young bands and give them the opportunity to perform at the biggest youth event in Europe, thus  helping them to  boost up their career in front of an international public.
An open call is sent out targeted at  young bands, and the top ones are chosen by an international jury based on their artistic excellence and energy.

Two selected bands will perform during the   YO!Fest, the political youth festival organised by the  European Youth Forum.
The Fest will take place on 20th-21st of May in Strasbourg, France and is expected to  gather together some 7.000 young people from all over Europe, under the motto “Together we can make a change”.

Who can apply?
Bands with maximum 8 members that are between 18 and 30 years old and coming from:

• European Union member countries
• EU candidate countries (Albania, FYROM, Montenegro, Serbia, Turkey)
• EFTA (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland)

Bands should play a genre that is accessible to a wide variety of people.

All you need to do is  submit your entry  by 15 March 2016  with your band's info, music & links and convince us you're the right band to choose!
