ENTRIES TO THIS YEAR'S MONASH YOUTH MUSIC FESTIVAL
Entrant Registrations are via 🟉Stardom only and have now officially closed.
Entries close for each section as soon as it is full. Ensure you register early, and enter all the sections you wish to enter as soon as possible, as each section has limited capacity. Once a section is FULL, 🟉Stardom will display "SOLD OUT" and you will not be able to enter that section.
Entries to all remaining sections closed on 9 June or on 23 June 2024. Please note we do not accept late entries!
Click on the 🟉Stardom logo to see what other eisteddfods and music festivals are coming up.
To make sure you don't miss out next year, sign up to our e-News so you will get a reminder when our entries are open. If you don't already have an account in Stardom, register today so you can enter other eisteddfods and music festivals.
Please note that we have strict capacity limits in each section and once a section is closed, we cannot accept further entries. Your appearance on the programme will be randomised this year, so entering first does not mean that you will appear first on the programme, nor does it mean that if you entered just before close of entries that you will perform last.
