A unique musical event and a huge opportunity for composers around the world to achieve artistic success. The Society of Authors ZAiKS and the Szczecin Philharmonic jointly and proudly announce the 3rd International Mieczysław Karłowicz Composers’ Competition. Previous successful editions and the high calibre of submitted works underscore the growing interest in an event that is renowned across the music world.

The inaugural competition, commemorating the 100th anniversary of ZAiKS, took place in 2018 and was held without patronage.  The 1st International Mieczyslaw Karłowicz Competition was held in 2020, with the 2nd edition following two years later in 2022.

It is of little surprise that the Szczecin Philharmonic is joining the Society of Authors ZAiKS to bring you this unique competition. The Philharmonic venue provides an exceptional setting for a thoroughly contemporary repertoire. Similar to previous editions, the finale of the 3rd International Mieczysław Karłowicz Composers’ Competition will feature a standard ticketed concert, with the audience actively involved in selecting their favourite composition.
