We’re publishing answers to parents’ most frequently asked questions.
Question:
Is it possible to change the song with which a participant applied to the festival?
Answer:
No, changing the song is not allowed. Each participant was evaluated during the audition based on the specific song they submitted. This process enabled the jury to assess the interpretation and suitability of the chosen song for the stage performance. Changing the song after the audition would be illogical and unfair, as it would disrupt the equal conditions established for all contestants.
Additionally, there is a risk of song duplication, which could negatively affect the structure of the event. If two participants applied with the same song, priority was given to the one who submitted it first. Allowing changes would therefore be unfair to the second applicant, who had to withdraw their choice.
It’s also important to emphasize that permitting song changes could compromise the integrity of the selection process — someone might have been rejected based on a particular song, which could then unjustly benefit another participant. In order to maintain fairness and transparency, changing the submitted song is not permitted.
Participants had four months, from February 1st to June 1st, 2025, to select and submit their song.
Question:
Can a participant be moved to the second semifinal date, because we have other obligations on the first one?
Answer:
Changing the scheduled semifinal performance date is generally not possible. When submitting your application, you agreed — by clicking the “Apply” button — that the participant would be available for all festival dates. This condition allows the organizers to fairly distribute participants based on scoring and age group, with the goal of creating balanced semifinal lineups.
Therefore, unfortunately, rescheduling is not possible, as it would affect the fairness of conditions for all participants and could lead to an unbalanced or unjust arrangement.
Question:
Is it possible to change the musical backing track after submitting the application?
Answer:
Yes, the backing track can be changed, but only within a specific timeframe. You may send a request to info@brezice.eu, no later than three days after receiving your so-called “Control Sheet.” This document is sent by the organizers so you can check the accuracy of your data, including the backing track.
If you don’t report any changes within that time, it is assumed that you fully agree with the content. After the three-day period has passed, changing the backing track will no longer be possible.
Question:
How can I listen to the backing track (playback) I received in the control sheet?
Answer:
The control sheet contains a Google Drive link to your personalized playback, stored in our music database. You can copy and paste this link into your internet browser, and the audio will play directly.
In most cases, PDF viewers automatically recognize these links, so you can simply click on them — and the browser will launch the playback immediately. We recommend that festival participants rehearse their performance using the link provided to ensure that everything with their track is in order and matches the version that will be used on stage.
