Jazz in the Park Competition (18–20 September 2026, Cluj-Napoca, Romania)
Image

The largest jazz competition in Eastern Europe by prize value, and one of the few where you don't perform in front of a jury in an empty room. At Jazz in the Park Competition, finalists play on a festival stage, in front of thousands of people, in Cluj-Napoca's Central Park.


No application fee. All finalists receive a guaranteed artist fee, travel support, accommodation, meals, and a full technical rider. Winners walk away with cash prizes, festival invitations across Europe, and production opportunities to record and release new music.
