This well-organised, established and successful competition promoted by Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland (Rotary GB&I) offers young people:

the experience of performing on a public stage an opportunity to showcase their musical talent impartial feedback and assessment of their performance by experienced adjudicators.

There are four stages to the competition, each designed to support and encourage the development of musical talent.

The competition is open to all levels, grades and styles of young instrumentalists and vocalists. The organisers particularly welcome entrants from modern genres.

Competitors, chosen for their excellent performances by Hastings Musical Festival Adjudicators will be taking part in the Hastings Heat.
