Founded in 2010, Midi Kids Art Program has held nearly 100 live music programs for children and their families, helping these kids to showcase their talent on a professional platform.

 

There are two groupings to be able to enter a band for the competition: Children (Age 6 to 12) and teenagers (Age 13 to 17). There are no restrictions on nationality, but contestants must live in China with a valid ID. The only restrictions are that contestants must obtain the consent of their guardians before applying, and contestants should not be bound by any acting or agency contract.



The bands participating must include a guitar (or ukulele), bass and drums. They will be judged on the track’s completeness and accuracy, orchestration level, music expressiveness, original creativity, and the band’s stage presence. For the national finals they will also be judged by online popularity.

 

There will also be an individual competition for electric guitar, bass, and drums. Individuals will be judged on playing skills, tone control and performance, the mastery and understanding of music style, and overall music playing expressiveness. In the quarter-final and final they will also be judged on how well they play the Midi graded music exams scores.

 

The competition will start with a preliminary round of one original track or cover submitted by video, with winners announced by August 20, 2017. The deadline for video submission is July 31, 2017. To apply scan the QR code on the poster below and fill in the application form.

 


The submitted videos should take care to ensure decent picture quality and sound clarity. Videos should be recorded live on site, and should not be edited.

 

After this will be the quarter-finals and then national finals, which will take place in Beijing, Shanghai, Suzhou, Chengdu, and Shenzhen. Here the bands will take to the stage to perform and show their talents. The grand final will take place at Shenzhen’s Midi Music Festival in December 2017.



There will be first, second, and third prize winners, and also a Best Live Performance Award (National Finals), and Best Original Creative Works Award. The champions take home a Champion Cup, Official Certificate, offers from Midi Music Festival for an entire year, album plans, and the satisfaction of starting their rock career!

 


There is no application fee during any section of the competition. Bands selected for the quarter-finals should bear the costs for heading to the relevant cities. Transportation expenses and the accommodation costs in Shenzhen for the players participating in the final of the competition and their tutor (only 1) will be borne by the organizer. Members other than the band players need to pay for their own travel expenses.
