Where Stars Are Born

Overview

Founded by UK-based international vocal coach and producer Yuliana Green alongside London-based artist and creative director Julia Flit (Art Programme Director), Where Stars Are Born is an international competition platform and talent incubator headquartered in the United Kingdom. Built around two core creative tracks—vocal music and visual arts—the initiative operates online submission cycles that culminate in a physical live Grand Finale and group exhibition in England.

Mission

Where Stars Are Born aims to bridge the gap between emerging creative talent and global opportunities, operating under the principle that “talent can be found anywhere, opportunity can’t.” Grounded in artistic expression, international connection, and professional development, the platform seeks to provide young singers and emerging visual artists with a meritocratic global stage, expert jury evaluation, monetary awards, and physical exhibition opportunities to launch their creative careers.

Programs / Opportunities

• International Art Competition: Online submission competition open to visual artists aged 8 and above (divided into Junior, Youth, and Adult categories) across photography, painting, printmaking, sculpture, drawing, and installation, leading to jury awards and a physical UK exhibition.
• International Vocal Competition: An online and live performance competition open to singers aged 5 and above across various musical genres and languages, offering cash prizes and invitations to perform live at the UK Grand Finale.
