Young Mexican Musician Competition
This new competition was launched by us in 2019 and is open to Mexican instrumentalists between the ages of 15-25. We have had over 400 entires between the two editions we have held, and our judges each year picked 15 young players to go forward. We award up to $400,000 pesos in prizes in the form of scholarships. Our aim is to make this the most prestigious competition in Mexico and our incredibly generous Patron Members have already contributed $250,000 pesos. We invite you to underwrite a prize, from as little as $5000 pesos to help us reach our total.
