DEAR COLIBRI FAMILY!
Unity in Diversity Arts Foundation is committed to its mission of the artistic development of all young talents and believes that this mission is even more critical today when another horrible war senselessly destroying human bodies, hearts and souls.
We believe that the world of music, dance, and art will help our children cope in these difficult times and send the world a strong message of peace!
We are pleased to announce the XVI INTERNATIONAL ARTS COMPETITION FOR YOUNG PERFORMERS “COLIBRI” 2023!
We welcome all children 18 years of age and younger from all countries to participate in the Visual Arts, Dance, Instrumental, and Vocal divisions. The competition will be taking place exclusively online this year.
This coming May, the Visual Arts division will be hosting our first competition of the year. Although many of you are sure to be concerned — as we are — with the situation that has developed in Ukraine, we hope that you will take this opportunity to continue the formation of your children and our future.
