The SchoolJam is a nationwide band competition for young and school bands in Germany. The annual school band competition is organized by SchoolJam eV, a non-profit association that aims to promote music in schools and support school bands in their musical development.

Schoolchildren in grades 5 to 13 as well as vocational school students and FSJ participants up to the age of 21 can participate. The Federal Ministry for Family, Seniors, Women and Youth sponsors the SchoolJam . In 2018, the association received the Live Entertainment Award in the “Artist / Young Talent Promotion Category”.

procedure

qualification

Every year school bands can apply for the current SchoolJam competition with an audio sample during an application period . A jury will select a total of 120 bands from the submitted applications to perform in front of an audience at one of a total of twelve regional finals. This is where it is decided which bands will advance to the online voting . Before the online voting, the participants and audio samples that were recorded live during the regional finals will be presented on the Spiegel Online , Regioactive , Huffington Post and the magazines of PPV Verlag. Four finalists are determined by electronic voting and a further four bands by an expert jury. The eight finalists will compete for the title of “Germany's best school band” at Musikmesse Frankfurt .

After their victory, the winners usually go on a tour organized either by SchoolJam or by the groups themselves.
