 The Music Showcase 2020 provides a platform for musicians of all ages, levels, and nationalities in Myanmar to showcase their skills and talents to an audience and a panel of international adjudicators. This will be done via video submissions online and is open to all Festival participants playing western orchestral instruments, piano, guitar, voice or Myanmar harp. There will be two different categories:
 
Western (Instrumental and Vocal) Category
Free choice classical* piece with a maximum duration of 10 minutes long, solo or accompanied.
 
Myanmar Harp Category
Each participant has to submit one Myanmar Classical Song and one Kalabaw song
 
Based on each performance, participants will qualify for one of the following levels of awards: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum.
All participants will receive adjudication reports and a certificate.
 
Each Category will award two cash prizes:
Audience Prize (200,000 MMK) and Judges Prize (300,000 MMK)
Other Special Prizes may also be awarded
 
Selected participants will have their performances included at our Virtual Concert on 25th July 2020 and may be given potential overseas performance opportunities.
