The international competition for young vocalists "Palangos Talent League". The competition attracted around 400 of the most talented young performers from various Lithuanian cities and towns, Latvia, Ukraine, the United Kingdom and Poland.
"Growth of Palanga Talent League
Asta Bagdonavičienė, the organiser and chief producer of the competition, was pleased with the growth of the Palanga Talent League:" Although it is the youngest competition in the Music Talent League family, it has the potential to become one of the most popular competitions for children and young people. The growth in the number of participants makes us believe that our efforts are not in vain and that the participants appreciate it."
"We are very happy to have the support of the Palanga city administration. Without it, it would not have been possible to create the quality that we can now offer to our participants. We want every participant, regardless of their age, to feel like a real star", says A. Bagdonavičienė. Students from Palanga were also involved in the project - students from the Palanga Vladas Jurgutis Progymnasium volunteered in the project, thus gathering their experience and at the same time contributing to the quality of the competition and the attention paid to participants.
Palanga attracted more than 400 participants from all corners of Lithuania and neighbouring countries.
The competition has no age restrictions, so it is open to both young children and mature singers. This year, the youngest participant was just 4 years old and the oldest was 35 years old. Participants perform in their age groups and compete for the title of winners and the Grand Prix trophies. The top-ranked performances will be broadcast on Lietuvos Rytas TV.
Feedback on the competition - the most important assessment
The whole organising team is really working hard to make sure that every participant receives the right attention and appreciation. "We understand how much effort the participants, their teachers and parents put into that 3-minute performance on stage. That's why we try to make the participants feel appreciated and uplifted every step of the way, from the greeting to the luxurious stage and the flawless sound", says Regina Stadalnikaitė Komžienė, the event director.
"The gratitude of the participants, their parents and teachers, as well as the positive feedback expressed both in person and in the public space on social networks, is the most important evaluation and indicator of our work," A. Bagdonavičienė reiterates.
