As part of the Semi-Finals, candidates are invited to submit a project that highlights their artistic personality. This project may take a variety of forms, including a purely musical proposal, a tour concept, or even a collaboration with other art forms such as literature, the visual arts, or dance.

The objective of this assignment is to provide the Jury and the public with a deeper understanding of the candidates’ artistic vision and the motivations that drive them in their musical journey. The project must be both engaging and realistic, and be suitable for a festival, concert season, theatre or tour.

Candidates have one month to prepare and develop their artistic project from the announcement of the semifinalists to the start of the competition in Geneva. Two individual online work sessions are organised with the Competition’s coaches: Eugénie Guibert and Andreas Vierziger. The purpose of these individual sessions is to answer candidates’ questions and guide them in the development of their proposal. Subsequently, candidates must submit a presentation of their project in the form of a text, PowerPoint presentation, video or any other medium.

Upon arrival in Geneva, each candidate is required to defend their project during a public interview, conducted by journalist Charlotte Gardner. The Jury will then assess each project based on its artistic interest, originality and relevance to the artist's early career.
