Tartu Studentdays almost-almost here!

Hi there, student! It’s finally time to wake up from a long winter sleep and rest your spirit before the stressful exam-period. In less than a month, from 25th of April to 1st of May, there is going to take place Tartu Spring days 2012 to put the “variety” and “fun” into resting! 

But before you can fully enjoy your break, you have to act just about now: send the demos of your acoustical band to Student Song Competition, for all of you who want to ignore the force of gravity with self-made flying machines – there’s Karsumm and for Boat Rally find the most exquisite costumes and an inflatable rubber boat. But those of you who have been secretly writing poems but never had the courage or opportunity to read them out loud - there is The Freedom To Poet!

As for this year’s main theme, we try to improve the connection between colleges and students of Tartu. On the one hand the collaboration is joy of doing something together, but on the other hand, it is more effective and easier way to achieve our purposes :)


Music-loving student!


StudentSong (Tudengilaul) is approaching - this time the competition will take place on April 27th at club Kink Konk in Tartu.

The traditional Student Spring Days event will once again focus on finding the songs and the performances that represent best the true essence of student-hood.

This years competition will witness the crowning of the 38th StudentSong's winner, whose name shall be written to the annals of history with fame and glory. Who will win? Perhaps it will be You!

How to claim Your fame? Simple enough - dust off your acoustic instruments, sing a bit of do-re-mi, gather some mates (if solo acts are not your thing) and record 2-3 original demos. And don't forget, since this is StudentSong, at least one member of your group must be a university student!

The deadline for demos is April 20th. Send your music and a filled out paricipation form to tartu.tudengipaevad@gmail.com. The next step requires patience, as a team of well-trained ears listen to all the submissions and carefully pick out 7 bands to perform on stage. The qualifiers will be announced on April 23rd. 

The final concert will be a spectacular show, judged by an expert jury and the audience. The overall winner of StudentSong 2012 will take home a check for 650 euros, presented by IS Music Team.

So - no time for hesitation! Follow the guidelines stated above and prepare to find your band in the company of past StudentSong winners such as Kruuv, Miyki and Eneseimetlejate Klubi.
