Rotary Young Musician 2025/26


District 1010 Young Musician Competition 2024/25

Young Musician Webinar 13th August

This competition is open to amateur musicians up to the age of 17.

There are four stages to the competition, each designed to support and encourage the development of musical skills. The first stage is a competition at local level where a Rotary Club will organise a competition. Winners then take part in a district competition (Scotland North) which is followed by a cluster final (Scotland) and, in due course, a national final (UK).

The competition is open to all levels, grades and styles of young instrumentalists and vocalists.

The competition aims to offer 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 an experienced adjudicator

The competition is open to all schools and college communities, including those that are home educated and any other young peoples’ community organisations, for example, community RotaKids, community Interact, Scout Groups, Girl Guides, etc.

There are two categories in the competition:

  • solo instrumental
  • solo vocal

This is a competition at which competitors are judged within the context of a live performance. Competitors perform a work or selection of works of their own choice within a time not exceeding 13 minutes.

District1010 Final (Scotland North) - Saturday 7th February 2026, venue to be confirmed.

Cluster Final (Scotland) - Saturday 7th March 2026, venue to be confirmed.

National Final (UK) - Saturday 29th March 2025 - venue to be confirmed.
