If you are between 16 and 30 years old and want to compete for the Saïd Chraibi Prize, an encouragement award for new talent, sign up for the first oud competition in the Netherlands.

You will be judged by a panel of experienced oud masters. They will decide who wins the Saïd Chraibi Prize, named after the legendary Moroccan oud player. The competition will take place in November 2026 at MAQAM, the cultural center of  Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra and Meervaart. More info will follow shortly.
