Background: The competition aims to encourage children and young people who enjoy making and composing music and putting their musical skills to the test, and who want to achieve something special in music to participate and through this to find and promote as many musical talents as possible. It is one of the three competitions organised by ‘Musik der Jugend’. A new initiative of this organisation is the competition podium.jazz.pop.rock.
At a conference of the state cultural representatives on 6th May 1994, the Austrian federal states decided to take on sole governing responsibility for the Austrian Youth Music Competitions MUSIK DER JUGEND (Music of Youth) with the support of the Federation, to set up a common office, and to carry out the competitions. The organisation and the functioning are regulated by an administrative agreement of the nine federal states and rules of internal procedure. The Board of Trustees is the deciding body on federal level. The expert jurisdiction rests with the Federal Expert Board.
