Mużika Mużika Is Back With An Even Bigger Cash Prize And An Entire TV Show

One of the biggest musical events in the Maltese calendar is back after last year’s success with a bolder festival – and a whole new TV series – due to start in October on TVM.
Mużika Mużika brought a slew of incredible Maltese language music to the forefront of cultural life, with tracks from the show still being played today and quickly becoming local classics.
A call for the participants of the 2022 edition of the festival is open – and you are invited to take part, if you are ready to take home a total of €20,000 in cash prizes.

There are impressive cash prizes for the top three performers during the festival.
Third place will be awarded €5,000, second place €10,000 and first place will be given a grand total of €20,000 – not too shabby at all.
The winning song will also have a professionally shot music video created for it by Festivals Malta as an added bonus.

But the fun does not end there.
Festivals Malta is currently filming season one of a new television programme, Mużika Mużika – Il-Vjaġġ Ikompli. Set to air this October every Sunday at 5:45pm on TVM. The programme will focus on the journey of a group of upcoming artists between the ages of 16 and 21, as they are coached by various experts in the entertainment industry on how to become professional performers.
The winner of this show will automatically become a semifinalist of Mużika Mużika 2022.
Season two on the other hand will focus on the semifinalists and will showcase their journey in preparation for the festival. It’s set to be both exciting as well as a compelling watch.
