Dear singers, parents, and companions!
Today is the day we finally meet for the live auditions! To ensure your arrival and today’s performance go as smoothly as possible, here are the final essential guidelines and important details.
📍 Where are the auditions?
The auditions take place at the Dom kulture Brežice (Trg Jožeta Toporišiča 3, 8250 Brežice, Slovenia). 👉 CLICK HERE FOR DIRECTIONS TO THE VENUE (this link will automatically navigate you from your current location).
🚗 Parking Instructions
- Right next to the venue: A limited number of parking spaces are available directly in front of the Dom kulture at Trg Jožeta Toporišiča and along the surrounding streets. Please pay attention to any blue zones (where a parking disc showing your arrival time is required).
- Nearby larger parking lots: If the spaces next to the hall are full, we highly recommend parking at the larger public parking lot near the Brežice Sports Hall (Športna dvorana Brežice) or the parking lots along the old town walls (Pod obzidjem Street). From there, it is just a short 3–5 minute walk to the venue through the town center.
📋 Key Rules and Audition Process
- WELCOME TO THE AUDITIONS!
- Please enter the hall, take a seat, and wait for the jury to call you to the stage. Anyone accompanying you (family / relatives / friends) is welcome to join you in the hall.
- You may enter the hall as soon as you arrive at the location. Please make sure not to disturb the performers on stage while waiting for your turn.
- Important Festival Notice: There are 211 registered candidates, and we can accept a maximum of 60 (30 for the first part of the semi-finals on August 21, 2026, and 30 for the second part on August 22, 2026). You cannot choose the date of the semi-finals you will be assigned to. Therefore, we kindly ask that if you have any other commitments at any time of the day between August 21 and August 23, 2026, please do not take the audition and leave your spot for candidates who are 100% ready to participate in all 3 festival days (regardless of the specific time slot assigned for rehearsals and performances).
- Schedule: Rehearsals always run from the oldest to the youngest participant, while the live performances run in reverse order – from the youngest to the oldest.
📅 Results
The results of the auditions will be announced after all auditions (including online submissions) are completed, expected by June 25, 2026. You will be notified about your result via the email address used to submit your application.
We wish all performers the best of luck and courage on stage! See you in a few moments at the Dom kulture!
