Young Monaco artists can win a spot at the 2027 World Expo with this open stage competition

The Direction des Affaires Culturelles is inviting young artists aged 16 to 30 to apply for the fourth edition of Scène Ouverte — Les Talents du Fort, taking place on Friday 10th July at Fort Antoine.

The annual open stage evening gives emerging performers the chance to appear before a large public audience in professional conditions — but this year’s edition carries a significantly higher stake than previous editions. One of the selected performers will be chosen to represent Monaco at the 2027 World Expo in Belgrade, Serbia, performing on an international stage before audiences from around the world.

The competition is open to musicians, singers, dancers, actors, circus artists and DJs who are Monegasque nationals, resident in Monaco, enrolled in school in the Principality, or have a demonstrable connection to Monaco. Applicants must be aged between 16 and 30.

The application deadline is 17th May. Forms are available online through the Direction des Affaires Culturelles.
