This year's big event is set for the 11th of December 2016, bringing together the best young musicians from Belgium, Brazil, Croatia, France, Sweden, Spain and Zimbabwe to compete for the international title. So where is the Imagine International Final taking place in 2016? It’s all going down at Ban Jelačić, the main square in the city of Zagreb, Croatia.

Throughout 2015, national Imagine competitions were held in Belgium, Brazil, Croatia, France, Spain, Sweden and Zimbabwe to train and select the best local young musicians to represent their country at the International Final. Click on the links below and discover the history and the music of these fresh talents!

They are:

ThIED (Belgium) 

"Sometimes words are futile devices" 

Sephion (Brazil) 

"From heavier arrangements until ballads" 

The Late (Croatia) 

"Improvisation and spontaneity" 

The Rising Sun (France) 

"A very '70es Jimi Hendrix-inspired blues-rock"

The Tape (Sweden) 

"Hypnotic guitar loops and intense reverb"

Ivy Moon (Spain)

Jesa (Zimbabwe) 

"Original and energetic afro-fusion beat" 

These young gifted artists represent the convergence of different musical journeys that will meet a crossroads in Zagreb, which for two days will be home of a unique mix of music styles and cultures.

For all of them, the possibility to follow the path of last year's winners, In Circles from Sweden, that are now living the experience of touring Europe and performing at every national competition. And most of all, enjoying an international platform to start developing their music career, through the opportunity to record a professional demo album and to receive a full PR makeover!

Imagine is the international all-styles music competition for young artists, which since its first edition in 2011 believes and invests in the development of young musicians.

But Imagine is not all about competition! Musicians will enjoy the chance to share skills and experiences during two days of workshops and jams, heating up the atmosphere until the final apex of the festival.

Good vibes and music excellence for the best experience that musicians and audiences can enjoy, also on livestream!

See you all in Zagreb!
