On August 7th, the TORMIS 95: Singing Tribute Award Ceremony will take place at the composer’s birthplace, Kõrveaia!
The event will feature a special collage video highlighting moments from all submitted performances. In addition, awards will be presented to the most outstanding participants.

We want to emphasize that to us, every submitted video is already a winner!
Each performance has been heartfelt and full of warmth, dedication, and the spirit of Tormis.
More important than competition is the shared goal of keeping Veljo Tormis’s legacy alive.

We extend our sincere thanks to the jury for their thoughtful work and dedication in making this difficult selection.

Winners will be contacted by the end of June.
