Introduction
Music of Armenia is delighted to announce the launch of Sayat Nova Festival dedicated to Sayat Nova and Ashough culture. The festival, for the first time, will take place in Yerevan in June 2016. To kick off the festival with a bang and to get you involved in the creation of this remarkable event, we have decided to announce a competition in search of the best arrangement/interpretation of music by Sayat Nova and other ashoughs. The competition gives (Armenian) musicians around the world the opportunity to revive Armenian traditional music in combination with modern world music culture trends.
Sayat Nova Festival
Celebrating the beauty of a unique artform, Sayat Nova Festival aims to preserve and promote the legacy of Sayat Nova and ashough culture in general. For several days, Sayat Nova Festival will bring together musicians of all backgrounds and levels of experience in an event solely dedicated to this utmost treasured artform.
What you get
1. The winning musician/band (video) will get $100.
2. If the winning musician(s)/band are based in Yerevan, they will have the chance to perform their song live at the Sayat Nova Festival in June 2016.
The competition is open to amateur and professional musicians who wish to submit their own arrangements and interpretations. This is a chance to showcase your talent to an international (online) community and an audience in Yerevan, as well as make a personal contribution to the Armenian musical heritage.

The goal of the competition is to find songs/videos that best illustrate how the traditional can be transferred into the 21st century.
