REGISTRATION CLOSED, all cities are full.

Please note that the opening of the waiting list does not guarantee that places will become available.
Registration procedure
Please read carefully all the steps and supporting documents to be provided before starting your registration
Registration for the 58th International Competition for Young Conductors (2023) is only possible online via the Festival’s ticketing website.
You will find the link at the bottom of this page.
The registration process consists of several steps that must be completed in one go.
The final registration is only taken into account when the payment is validated and the supporting documents are uploaded: until we have received your convocation (step 5), your place is not reserved.
The official opening of registration is scheduled for Wednesday 18 January, noon (Paris time).
Registration will close gradually, depending on the number of participants in each city/date/time slot, with a final closing date of Tuesday 31 January, midday (Paris time).
Documents to be provided
All documents must be provided in jpeg OR pdf format, with a maximum size of 2Mo.
- copy of an official identity document – passport or ID card
- curriculum vitae (maximum 2 pages)
- recent photo portrait: less than 2 months old, framed on the face, front view
A recent selfie is preferable to an old photo; this portrait will only be used by the jury to identify you more quickly, it will not be used for communication documents.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How long do I have to download the required documents after I have paid my registration fee?
You must upload your documents as soon as you receive the email “document en attente / pending document” (24h maximum).
I do not receive the automatic emails
Remember to check your spam. The emails come from the address venteenligne@festival-besancon.com
Check that the payment has been validated. Check that the supporting documents are not too heavy or in an unacceptable format.
I can't make the payment / my payment is refused
Check that you are using an authorised method of payment: Visa, MasterCard / PayPal transfer.
Check that your bank account has sufficient funds or contact your bank to find out about any transfer limits (particularly abroad, depending on your geographical location).
Please note: even if you have created your account and chosen your preselection location, the registration is not taken into account until the payment is validated and the supporting documents are uploaded; your place is therefore not reserved.
The desired city / day / time is not available
We do not have any back-up places: if a city / day / time is no longer displayed, it means that there are no more places available.
