Premier Music International Competition
The 2024 edition results are in! Please check our Results page for more information.
PMIC is an online international video competition held annually for music students (studying in music school and/or with private teachers) and music enthusiasts worldwide.
We created this music competition specifically for non-professionals to be able to showcase their musical talents - if you are a professional musician, or preparing to be one as a conservatoire student, then please visit and apply to our other competition, PMIC Pro.
We invite all ages and levels to participate in this friendly, transparent, fair, yet prestigious competition - candidates are categorized based on age/experience, instrument groups and genre.
This music competition is open to all instruments - strings (violin, viola, cello, double bass), plucked instruments (harp, guitar), piano, percussion (both melodic and rhythmic), drum kit/set, woodwinds (flute, oboe, saxophone, clarinet, cor Anglais, recorder), brass (trumpet, French horn, trombone) and voice - and genres from classical music to jazz and pop/rock.
In addition, there is now a songwriting category as well starting from the 4th edition (2024) of PMIC!
PMIC is a completely independent competition created without the funding of any national or international organisations.
This is a 21st Century, forward-thinking competition which gives valuable insight by providing detailed feedback from the jury panel with each of them making their final decisions remotely and independently without input from anyone else. In addition, from the 2024 edition onwards none of the judges' current and recent students can enter the competition!
New: For applicants who are located in a country where Youtube/Vimeo is not available, you can upload your videos here instead (only for countries that do not have access to YT/Vimeo!): https://dbmastering.eu/upload-.html
This is your chance to showcase your unique talent to the world!
The 5th edition is open from 1 February to 1 May 2024!
Deadline for submitting the application form (with video links) 1st May 2025!
