The Maidstone Young Musician competition is run by the Maidstone Dawn Patrol Rotary Club. Entry into the competition is via Maidstone Music Festival.
Outstanding performers from Maidstone Music Festival will be selected by the adjudicators and Festival staff and recommended for an opportunity to take part the Young Musician competition.
This is open to all instrumentalists, including singers.
There is no need, on entry to Maidstone Music Festival, to register for the Young Musician Competition; outstanding performances will be noted and the invitation to take part will be sent in the weeks after the Festival.
MYM will take part during January as an online competition from video recordings. A total of eight performers can take part in this. There will be a winner, a runner-up, and a young musician of promise.
This MYM competition also acts as the local heat for the national Rotary Young Musician. This has separate categories for singers and instrumentalists, and the MYM judges will be asked to pick first and second in each of the two categories to go forward to the district competition.
