Eurovision Young Musicians (French: L'Eurovision des Jeunes Musiciens), often shortened to EYM, or Young Musicians, is a biennial classical music competition for musicians aged between 12 and 21. It is organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) between members of the union, who participate representing their countries. Some participating broadcasters hold national selections to choose its representative for the contest.
The first edition of Eurovision Young Musicians took place in Manchester, United Kingdom on 11 May 1982, with six countries taking part. The contest was won by Markus Pawlik representing West Germany, who played the piano. Austria is the most successful country in the contest, having won six times: in 1988, 1998, 2002, 2004, 2014, and 2024, and has hosted the contest a record six times. The twenty-first and most recent edition of this competition took place in Bodø, Norway on 17 August 2024 and was won by Leonhard Baumgartner, who played the violin for Austria.
