A global search for young, talented vocalists in the genres of Classical, Popular, and Country Music across various countries. The goal is to support the winners in their professional development and promote them on the international stage.

Candidates for the “Crystal Note” Award may include solo vocalists aged 16 to 30, vocal groups (duets, trios), and vocal-instrumental ensembles. The main categories are: Opera singers, Pop singers, and Performers of Country and National music.

The competition was held periodically from 1997 to 2006 in Russia and the USA. Today, the format has evolved to align with new technologies and how young people connect in modern society. The project’s mission is to unite the creative youth of the new generation, grounded in the best national traditions and values of their respective cultures.

The uniqueness of the “Crystal Note” Competition lies in its use of the global Internet at every stage, serving as the main form of communication between all participants—contestants, audiences, and organizers. The accessibility of the Internet, combined with the use of social media for audience voting, makes the Crystal Note Music Award a truly “global competition without borders”.  Most importantly, it aims to discover artists worthy of audience admiration.

Another key aspect that distinguishes this creative project from other competitions: awards are granted in the form of scholarships, grants for recording debut albums, and funds for the purchase of musical instruments.
