The Lithuanian Jazz Union announces the selection of tracks for its annual compilation Jazz From Lithuania. Traditionally, an international independent commission will select tracks for the album in a blind manner (without knowing the names of the performers and tracks) to represent Lithuanian jazz at the AGATA Music Hall, Jazzahead! fair, and other events.

You can submit your works and required information until September 28 (inclusive).

One or two works (no more) reflecting different characters or means of expression may be submitted to the competition. One work will be selected for the compilation.

Entries submitted to the competition must meet the following criteria:

1. The works must be published in the second half of 2024 – 2025.
2. The work is presented in .wav format.
3. Duration of the work – up to 8 minutes (recommended – 6 minutes)
4. The creator or group provides the title of the work and a description of the group/performer in Lithuanian and English.
5. A link to the author/group's creative profile (website, YouTube, Facebook, Bandcamp, Spotify, etc.) is provided.
6. A representative photo of the performer or group is provided.

All submissions must be uploaded to a single Google Drive folder, and a link to it must be provided in the application. The folder must contain: the work (in .wav format, preferably without metadata), a photo, a text file with the title of the work, a description (in Lithuanian/English), and links to creative profiles. Preference will be given to previously released works that are part of a specific album. Works from an album that already has another work in the collection are not eligible for selection.

The activities of the Lithuanian Jazz Union are funded by LTKT.
