Rameau International Online Music Competition 2026: Piano, Voice, Composition and Film Music
The Jean-Philippe Rameau International Online Music Competition is taking entries for its late-2026 session, including instrumental performance, classical singing, ensembles, composition and screen-related music. The application page lists 26 December 2026 as the closing date, with results scheduled for 17 January 2027. Participation is online, which can make an international submission more practical than travel-based auditions.
Which musicians may apply?
Categories cover a broad range of age and experience groups, from young performers to adult and professional entrants. Instrumentalists, vocalists, chamber groups and composers should choose the division that reflects their age and submission type. Film and game music is also represented. Because individual sections may apply different presentation rules, applicants should not assume the same video or score requirements apply to all categories.
Published entry fees
The organizer lists a charge of £65 for one category, £120 for two, £170 for three and £220 for four. These are entry costs rather than promised prize amounts. Check whether any bank, currency-conversion or payment processing costs apply at checkout, and review refund conditions before committing to multiple entries.
Assessing a remote competition
A useful online entry should begin with a technically clean recording that meets the permitted duration and identification requirements. Composers need to check the score and audio specifications separately. Applicants seeking a particular award, certificate or live performance must read the organizer's terms for exactly what is and is not guaranteed.
This notice describes the organizer's published call, not an independent ranking or endorsement of competition prestige. Compare the judging criteria, entrants' rights and fee schedule with your personal goals before submitting.
