Since 1964, young musicians in Germany have competed in Jugend musiziert, youth makes music. They play first at regional level, then at state level, then in the federal competition. More than three quarters of a million young people took part in the first 56 years. At every level the juries are made up of qualifizierte Fachleute, qualified specialists. They award up to 25 points. A soloist goes on from the state to the federal competition only with 25 points. The rules say: Die Entscheidungen der Jurygremien sind unanfechtbar. The juries’ decisions cannot be challenged.
