WINNERS

1st PRIZE - Tom Tea (Italy) with the song "See how they glisten (Hommage to Stephen Sondheim)"
The jury's comment:

Composition that recalls the style and structure of a musical song, conceived in fact as a tribute to the famous composer, author, and playwright Stephen Sondheim, in which progressive choral sounds also echo. Well arranged project, sung and created with high professional value, in which the amalgam of the five voices (soprano, contralto, tenor, baritone, and bass) blends well in the choices of precisely crafted harmonies.

2nd PRIZE - Jeny Krincheva (Bulgaria) with the song "Hopeless"

The jury's comment:

Song that collects the suggestions of a sleepless night, in which one seeks the presence of the beloved to heal the wounds of a life that seems hopeless.

The song has a solid and well-organized structure, and evokes a world full of emotions and sensitivity.

The voice, very convincing and with a beautiful timbre, is that of the very young composer of the piece, just fourteen years old, which suggests a further development of the already consistent artistic solidity, and instills hope and positivity in the future of the new generations of artists.

3rd PRIZE - Black Idol (Serbia) with the song "Son of No Desire"

The jury's comment:

Acidic sounds that fit well into the profound meaning of the text which investigates the human soul between ambitions and desires that are missed because perhaps they are too high.

The arrangement is well done with a vocal dimension appropriate to the sound of the instrumental timbres.
