The Original Song Competition is a new initiative designed for students in the Cross-Disciplinary Vocal Department, inviting singer-songwriters to bring their personal voice to the stage. As part of the competition, participants will present original songs they have written, and will be evaluated on the quality of their lyrics, composition, and performance, accompanied by a musical ensemble of their choice.

The competition takes place in two stages: first, the submission of a recorded performance, followed by a live performance before an audience and a panel of judges. The competition seeks to encourage original creative work, stage presence, and musical collaboration.
