International Music Olympiade

The International Music Olympiade (IMuO) is a biennial competition for primary and secondary school students designed to promote music education, creativity, and international connection. It is split into two age groups (12-15 and 16-19) and consists of written musical knowledge tests, sight-reading or performance, and original compositions.

(IMuO) is aimed to promote music education and creativity in music among European pre-university students, and facilitate international contacts between young musicians. The idea of organizing the International Music Olympiad was born in Estonia in 2012 and in the same year the 1st IMuO was held in Tallinn.

The International Music Olympiad (IMuO) is organized in every two years as a competition for students of general comprehensive primary and secondary education and is a competition amongst individuals. The competition is open for countries from Europe and beyond.

A Country’s Contestants should be citizens or residents of that Country and should be selected through the Country’s National Music Olympiad or equivalent selection programme. Contestants must be enrolled in full-time comprehensive education on the year of the Olympiad.

The Regulations of the Olympiad are published on the website of the organizing country.

Countries participating in IMuO accept the responsibility of organizing the competition themselves at some point of time
