Musicians In Debut International

2021 WAS AN UNUSUAL, BUT VERY BUSY YEAR FOR THE MUSICIANS IN DEBUT INTERNATIONAL. DUE TO THE PANDEMIC, WE HAVE RETOOLED OUR COMPETITION COMPLETELY FOR AN ONLINE FORMAT. 1. THE EARLY PART OF 2021 (JANUARY THROUGH MAY) WE HAVE ACCEPTED AND PROCESSED NUMEROUS APPLICATIONS. THE COMPETITION SELECTED 60 CONTESTANTS FROM A LARGE PULL OF APPLICANTS. WE COORDINATED OVER 20 VIRTUAL SITES IN 10 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES TO RECORD ALL OUR CONTESTANTS. OUR EFFORTS WERE PUT SQUARELY INTO MAKING SURE THAT MOST ACCESS WAS GIVEN TO THE CONTESTANTS WHILE MINIMIZING EXPOSURE AND HEALTH RISKS. COMPETITION STAFF TRAVELED TO SOME LOCATIONS, HOWEVER, THE MAJORITY OF THE EFFORT WAS SPENT IN TRAINING VARIOUS VENUES FOR THE RECORDING PROCESS AND PROCEDURES. 2. THE COMPETITION TOOK PLACE JULY 12-17, 2021. FOR THE EVENT, THE INTERNATIONAL JURY CONSISTING OF 5 PROMINENT MUSICIANS TRAVELED TO MINNESOTA AND LISTENED TO 60 CONTESTANTS IN THREE DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS OVER THE COURSE OF 6 DAYS. ALL EVENTS OF THE COMPETITION WERE BROADCAST LIVE ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL. UNFORTUNATELY, DUE TO THE REGULATIONS, NO LIVE AUDIENCE WAS ALLOWED. AT THE END OF THE COMPETITION, THE JURY SELECTED WINNERS IN EACH OF THE THREE AGE CATEGORIES. RESULTS ARE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE ON OUR WEBSITE WWW.ECOMPETITION.ORG 3. FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR THE COMPETITION STAFF SPENT TIME WRAPPING UP THE COMPETITION AND STRATEGIZING FOR THE FUTURE EVENTS.
