Made in New York Jazz Competition

Made in New York is the first international online jazz competition that aims to churn out some of the best jazz talents across the globe. These days, when every possible form of entertainment is becoming virtual, why not music competitions? The organizers of the competition, a community of jazz music lovers, have conceived and executed this brilliant concept by neatly harnessing the power of the web. more

Jazz musicians from ANYWHERE in the world can showcase their talent and enter the contest, simply by submitting videos online.

We have –seven- different categories to enter, so every musician is likely to find something to their taste.  The judges will make the final selection of the winner, from a group of shortlisted candidates selected by combination of committee and popular vote.

    Please allow the committee 24-72hours to review the profile. Upon review you will receive an email with the link and password to upload your work
    If the video meets the required standards you will receive another link to the payment processing system. Standard participation fee is $75 per submission.
    When payment is received your video will be uploaded to the website.

The Sky is the Limit

Since we have decided to take our festival completely online, the sky is the limit in terms of promotions, features, and functions we will be able to offer our community.  Online concerts, remote recording capabilities and much more surprises are planned for future years as our community and program develops.

Make Your Name As Our Grand Prize Winner

The winner of the Made In New York Jazz Festival will see their musical career take off like a rocket ship. The winner will immediately pocket a large cash purse of $3000, plus 10% of the registration fees, which alone will give them enough capital to buy equipment, log some recording time, or just pay the bills while taking some time to work on new music.

More important than any amount of money you will win is the international recognition. The winner will be flown to New York City to participate as a headline performer in the Made In New York Jazz Festival Concert, which will provide them huge exposure and open many doors.

So if you are passionate about jazz, don’t miss the opportunity to make your voice heard in this first ever annual online jazz competition!
