About the competition
The International Forum of Young Performers (IFYP), created in 1969, is a European competition for young musicians organized by the European Broadcasting Union on behalf of UNESCO and the International Music Council (IMC). Since 2002 it has been called "New Talent".
The "New Talent" competition aims to encourage and promote young musicians through radio, by the organization of public concerts that are broadcast by Member organizations of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).
Candidacies from young musicians can be submitted either by EBU Member organizations or by the national committees of the IMC and European Music Council (EMC).
With effect from 2003, the "New Talent" competition will take place in Bratislava (Slovakia) and will be co-organized by Slovak Radio and the Slovak Philharmonic-Bratislava Music Festival.
