In January, the videos of the candidates will be screened by an international jury behind closed doors. The applications will be examined by the Competition’s organisers and the candidates' programmes will be examined by an Artistic Committee specially designated for this purpose. No changes can be made to the programme, except where required by the Artistic Committee.

The candidates will be informed individually of the results of the selection process by 15 March 2026 at the latest, after which the public will also get to know the names of the candidates selected for the first public round.

Did you submit an application? You can still consult your application form by connecting to your account via this link. You can also find this link in the white footer of this website, in the column 'Connect/Log-in'.
