ABOUT CONTEST

Composer’s Prize for Children and Youth “Crystal kamerton” was established in 1998.
In 2006 the Contest “Crystal kamerton” was named after the great russian composer Andrey Petrov.

The organizers of the Contest issue the challenge not only to educe talented young composers but also to participate in their further creative life as well as to develop composer’s art in general by way of forming creative relations, making conditions for creative exchange and interaction, increasing the society’s need in composer’s art and its popularization.

The aim of the Contest is to make conditions for establishing and development of young composers. This aim may be achieved through solving three main tasks:

Encourage young composers’ creative activity;

Find talented young composers;

Popularize talented young composers’ creativity.
