MUSCAT: The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Youth on Tuesday announced the opening of registration for the 13th edition of the Omani Song Festival, scheduled to take place from January 3 to 6, 2027.
The festival is a national artistic event dedicated to Omani music and singing, seeking to showcase Omani talents and voices, support musical creativity, and enhance the presence and evolution of the Omani song in step with artistic developments at both the local and regional levels.
The festival serves as a platform to celebrate Omani musical achievements, discover promising artistic talents, and strengthen connections between artists, musicians, and those with an interest in the arts — thereby enriching the Omani music scene and consolidating the standing of the Omani song on domestic and regional stages.
The ministry has set forth the participation requirements for the festival. Omani talents in the field of singing are eligible to apply, with participants required to be between the ages of 18 and 39. Applicants must submit a video clip performing a song of their choice, through which they demonstrate their vocal and performance abilities, with the clip not exceeding two minutes in duration.
