ABOUT
Global Talent. Shared Purpose. Community Impact.
THE MUSIC COMPETITION stands as the definitive global honors platform for the next generation of exceptional musical talent. Designed for artists of all ages and levels—both professional and pre-professional—it offers a rare and distinguished opportunity to perform, compete, and ascend on the international stage. Rooted in artistic excellence and driven by cultural purpose, this legacy-building competition is more than a showcase—it is a launchpad for the visionary performers, composers, and creators shaping the future of music. At the heart of our mission is a belief that exceptional talent is a gift to be shared. A portion of every application fee directly funds world-class music education programs and international events that support the neurodiverse artistic community—advancing access, visibility, and creative equity on a global scale. Representing the highest level of artistic distinction, the twin pillars of THE MUSIC COMPETITION—the Global Prestige Awards and the New York Prestige Awards—celebrate excellence on both a global and cultural capital stage, uniting the world’s finest young artists in a shared pursuit of legacy, recognition, and lasting impact.
