The Provincial Festivals winners come together to compete for the National Music Crossroads Title as well as the chance to go on to the InterRegional Festival.

Two groups or solo artists from each country's National Festival are selected by competent juries to continue to the final round of the Music Crossroads program.

As winners of National Festivals they will undergo intense training on all aspects of music and performance from their national Music Crossroads entity, ensuring that they are well prepared and ready to take on the heavy competition they will meet at the IRF!
