Compatriots from BRICS+ and CIS countries are invited to participate in the international music ideas competition RUS_START. The International Youth Weekend RUS_SVET, within which the RUS_START “MUSIC IDEAS RACE” competition will take place, is an annual event for the youth community of Russia, BRICS, APR, and CIS countries, aimed at strengthening international ties, professional competencies, and promoting local brands and projects. The RUS_START competition is intended for people with no experience in the music industry.

In the finale, participants will present their projects on a big stage. Registration (https://new-gorod.com/cases/rus-svet/rus-2-form/) for the RUS_START competition ends on June 27. For international representatives, the trip will be part of the “New Generation” program.
