Entries now open for the Tipperary International Song of Peace Contest 2026
The closing date for receipt of entries is May 31, 2026
Throughout history, music has given voice to humanity's deepest hopes — for understanding, compassion, and peace.
In a world that continues to face division and conflict, the Tipperary International Song of Peace Contest offers a space where creativity, conscience, and community come together through song.
The 2026 Tipperary International Song of Peace Contest will take place in Tipperary, Ireland, on August 20, 2026, welcoming songwriters and performers from Ireland and across the world to share their musical vision of peace. We are now inviting entries for the 2026 contest.
Songs that explore themes of peace, love, harmony, reconciliation, kindness, and hope are encouraged.
We also welcome songs that express a personal or cultural "sense of peace" — whether inspired by nature, relationships, spirituality, social justice, or quiet moments of reflection.
All musical styles and genres are welcome, from traditional and folk to contemporary, classical, pop, or experimental.
The Tipperary Song of Peace is more than a competition; it is a celebration of music as a force for unity and understanding.
It provides artists with an opportunity to be heard, to connect with others who believe in the power of song to inspire change, and to contribute to a growing international movement for peace.
The closing date for receipt of entries is May 31, 2026. Entry forms are available at: https://tipperarypeace.com/ or by contacting [email protected]
We look forward to receiving your entry and to welcoming artists, audiences, and supporters to Tipperary in August 2026 — united by music, inspired by hope, and committed to peace.
