The new star 2020 is a vocal competition for talented representatives of each of the 85 regions of the country who gather on the same stage to fight for one of two prizes: according to estimates by experts in the music world and spectators voting. Castings have already started, so in the near future the audience will find interesting songs, vivid emotions and enchanting voices of vocalists from all over the country.
Organizational moments
The organizer of the contest "New Star 2020" is the TRC of the RF Armed Forces "Star" with the support of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. It was created to emphasize the identity of different parts of the country and the creative potential of their inhabitants. Confirmation of this should be a characteristic video about the region where the participant came from, and about the performer. The result is 85 video cards lasting 40 seconds, which are performed in the same style, but at the same time reflect the individuality of each region and its representative. The latter may already be popular artists or just beginners unknown to the general public. The terms of the competition allow solo performances, duets or participation in a vocal-instrumental group. All of them will fight for the main prize - financial assistance for personal professional development and promotion.
The participants of the “New Star” will be evaluated by a commission of 5 jury members, the composition of which may vary in different issues. These will be honored and popular musicians of different generations. Only the place of the chairman, Maxim Isaakovich Dunaevsky, remains unchanged.
Voting takes place on the principle of five rays from five judges, each of whom has the right to "extinguish the ray." Such an action takes away from the vocalist 20 points out of the maximum possible 100.
Who can participate
One of the main conditions is the direct connection of the vocalist with the represented subject of the Russian Federation. This applies to the place of birth, real residence or creative biography, which one way or another should have something in common with the chosen region.
When selecting, the following criteria are also taken into account:
- originality of style, timbre and personality of the performer;
- strong vocal abilities;
- citizenship of the Russian Federation;
- age 16-45 years (inclusive);
- the maximum number of people in a group is 5.
If any of the criteria does not meet, the organizers reserve the right to consider such applications individually. As practice shows, approximately equal proportions of female and male vocalists are often observed. At the same time, the most artistic and charismatic performers with an interesting history are selected.
Competition Stages
The provisions of the "New Star 2020" contest have traditionally approved several stages:
- Preliminary selection is a non-broadcast stage, information on the course of which is published in social networks and news releases of the organizer channel.

For this, in-person casting is conducted in Moscow (sometimes additionally in other regions) and online castings for those who are not able to come to the capital. At the selections, you can submit already known songs or cover versions.
- Competitive auditions - live performances in the form of 8 concerts with traditional competitive scenery, where a professional jury will evaluate the skill of the performers and choose the most powerful vocalists in two semi-finals.As a result, there will remain 24 semifinalists, but their possible number for each qualifying concert is not limited.
- Semifinal performances - the next stage in the form of two spectacular concerts with guest stars of show business. Here, the vocalists will have to perform premiere songs, which will be specially written by famous authors for them. According to their results, in each concert 6 strongest will be selected.
- The final is a gala concert with the participation of 12 best performers of the New Star 2020 contest and Russian popular performers. According to the tradition of last year, two winners will be determined: one according to the professional jury, and the second according to the results of the viewers' voting.
