2025 Young Artist Competition

Mission

More than five years ago, the Atlanta Festival Academy created an awesome new music performance and education experience for not just Atlanta, but the entire Southeast region of the USA. Hundreds of students have since gathered from around the world and amazed thousands of people in widely acclaimed live concerts.

We now add to this great history a live classical music competition that will give up-and-coming musicians ages 21 and younger the opportunity to compete for more than $15,000 in prizes and performances.

When & Where

The 2025 Atlanta Festival Young Artist Competition will take place during the 2025 Chamber Music Camp (July 21 – August 2, 2025). Applicants will need to submit preliminary round videos by mid-winter 2025 (deadline TBA), and the live in-person competition will be in late July 2025 in the city of Johns Creek, Georgia, USA (date TBA).
