Exclusion of Russian and Belarusian candidates
Princess Astrid IMC stand united with the Norwegian government, the EU and the UN in condemning Russia´s illegal war against Ukraine. For the 2024 competition we will therefore not be accepting applications from Russian and Belarusian candidates. This also applies to persons with Russian/Belarusian citizenships that are in exile and/or have dual citizenships. Despite of music being a globally unifying force, it cannot be ignored that it exists within the context of international relations and conflicts. It is also the case that competitors traditionally represent their respective nations when attending international music competitions. Although this regulation is set to exclude Russia and Belarus as nations, we are aware it affects many young musicians in ways that may be perceived as unfair. It is our hope that we will be able to invite Russian and Belarusian musicians to the competition again in the foreseeable future.
