The Monash Youth Music Festival
Welcome!
The Monash Youth Music Festival is a significant annual music festival held on the lands of the Wurundjeri People in the leafy City of Monash, Victoria Australia. This Festival draws well over a thousand young musicians from all over Melbourne each August to compete in forty-nine disciplines including Ensemble and Choral competitions, solo competitions and non-competitive sections. In 2024 we introduced a Guzheng competition for the very first time, and we will continue to do so in the future.
Entries opened 24 April and closed 8 June 2025, and our Festival ran from 2 to 23 August 2025.
Please keep up-to-date with this year's Festival by subscribing to our free e-News! Our e-News will tell you when the Festival entries open again in 2026.
