Conad Jazz Contest

How does it work?

Participation in the Contest is open to soloists and bands aged 18 to 28, Italian nationality is required for at least one of the members of the band , free from record or publishing contracts in progress .

With regard to the age limit, the following will therefore be able to participate:

1. soloists aged 18 or over at the time of entry;
2. soloists aged 28 or under at the time of entry;
3. groups in which the age limit is respected by each individual member of the band, according to the same specifications indicated for soloists.

As far as bands are concerned, the participation of groups of up to a maximum of 8 members is allowed.

The process for identifying the winners will see the joint action of 3 juries :

• a technical jury made up of musicians and experts, who will evaluate all those registered for the Contest (see point 1.a of this article);
• a popular jury open to all , which will also express its preferences on all those registered (see point 1.b of this article);
• an artistic jury chaired by Stefano Bragatto, director of Radio Monte Carlo, and composed of musicians and experts, who will express their opinions once the selections have been completed to identify the overall winner of the Contest (see point 2 of this article).
