Application via the NJO portal for NJO and EUYO candidates
If you wish to participate in a NJO project and you are eligible (see under the heading 'Eligibility for application' below), and/or if you want to audition for EUYO, you will need to apply in your personal NJO portal.
If you don’t have an account yet, please first create your personal account via Create an account. If you experience any difficulties using the portal, please read the instructions for login and audition registration.
Please make sure you read and understand the NJO audition and participation regulations before you register for an NJO project or audition or the EUYO audition rules and regulations before you register for EUYO auditions. By registering at NJO via the portal below, you accept the NJO and/or EUYO rules and regulations.
Log in to your account in the NJO portal to apply for auditions and projects and to make any changes. Please check whether there are any projects open for applications on our Programme & planning page. If you apply for a video audition is it possible to register first en to add your video later (but still before the deadline). NB. Changing the solo piece you have selected from our list, an auxiliary instrument/specialization and/or your availability is only possible by sending an email to twan njon.nl.
