The Mid EUROPE Youth Wind Orchestra Competition, a part of this annual festival, offers talented youth wind ensembles from around the world a platform to showcase their skills in the field of wind music and see how they measure up against their peers.

In various categories and levels of difficulty, the orchestras demonstrate their versatility by performing compulsory and elective pieces. An international panel of judges evaluates the participants' performances in detail, awards points, and provides valuable feedback. The points not only determine the winners but also offer the participating orchestras important insights into their strengths and areas for development.
