The Pelican International Music Competition is a competition open to young musicians from age 6 to 20 of any nationality in piano, strings, and flute. Launched by the Opus Music Foundation, a non-profit organization supporting musical growth in young artists, PIMC inaugurates its first season as a fully online music competition in various categories and age groups.

While Qualified categories are in a single round, Open categories winners may compete in the second round for the Grand Prize Showcase Award, judged by distinguished international musicians. Please see Rules & Categories for more detailed information. 

 

Applicants are judged by a numerical scoring system. The comment sheet is available to applicants after April 20.
