Open online calls for violinists worldwide — solo, concerto and recital divisions, updated weekly.
Online violin competitions, without the travel pressure
Travelling with a violin means more than booking a ticket: there is the instrument, the rehearsal plan and, sometimes, an accompanist to coordinate. An online competition keeps the focus closer to home. You can prepare with the people you normally work with and record in a setting where you feel comfortable.
Choose a programme that shows your musical strengths, then check accompaniment and video requirements. These listings include Strings and All Musicians calls; the edition’s rules confirm violin eligibility. Human-written feedback is generally offered by MusCom competitions and can give you something useful to take into your next lesson.
Can I use an existing violin performance video?
Check the edition’s recording rules first. The recording date, repertoire, camera view and editing requirements may determine whether an existing video is suitable.
As you compare these violin opportunities, explore why online music competitions are worth considering — from saving travel costs to making preparation fit your normal routine. Then return to the open calls above and choose an edition whose requirements suit your music.
