UNITING EUROPE IN MUSIC!

 LIONS EUROPEAN MUSIC COMPETITION

FOR HUMAN VOICE
PRIZE Thomas KUTI
Europa Forum 2022 Zagreb/Croatia
25th – 30th October

For 30 years the Europa Forum has already included a Music Competition. So we are proud to
celebrate our Jubilee in Zagreb with the Human Voice as the instrument.

A Music competition dovetails perfectly with our Forum. It puts the principle of Lionism into
practice, promoting fraternity and exchange among young people from different nationalities
and cultures as well as spreading music and encouraging its practice.

The competition is also a means of promoting a sense of service in the districts concerned and
helps extend public awareness of Lions.

The competition is named after the founder of the competition from France, Thomas Kuti.

Every year another instrument is chosen through the Host Country. The Lions from Croatia
have chosen the Human Voice.
