Working in conjunction with the Old Settlers Music Festival, Buda’s Birthday is hosting the Preliminary Contest #3 for the Youth Talent Competition.

Five talented youth will be chosen to perform at Buda’s Birthday for a chance to win a spot in the Youth Talent Competition Finals at Old Settlers Music Festival.

The Youth Talent Competition encourages a new generation of American roots musicians by offering performance opportunities and exposure. The tradition began more than 19 years ago when four-time GRAMMY Winner Sarah Jarosz took first place. The competition continues to be a fertile ground for the development of young artists. Sarah Grace, semi finalist on Season 15 of the Voice, won the Youth Talent Competition in 2018.
