The 30th European Grand Prix for Choral Singing taking place in Maribor, Slovenia, on April 21, 2018 had the first win from an Indonesian choir.
The Resonanz Children's Choir (TRCC), led by conductor Avip Priatna, has won an award at the EGP 2018.
As mentioned earlier, the contest is open only to the grand prize winners of the six-member European choral competitions in the previous year.
In other words, if a choir wins the grand prize in any of the six cities' choral contests, it is eligible for then next year's EGP.
For example, if a choir is named the grand prize winner in Arezzo, it is automatically disqualified to compete in the contests in the five remaining cities for the rest of the year.
The Philippine Madrigal Singers (laureate of the 1997 EGP) have won the 2006 Florilège Vocal de Tours,[4] going on to win the Grand Prize in 2007 in Arezzo, Italy.
The EGP winner is not allowed to compete in any international choral competition, member of the European Grand Prix Association, for two years.
