The NAMCYA has been a principal instrument in discovering major music talents from all over the country. Its project involves some 1 million musicians, trainers and administrations, in along and tedious process of selecting the best among them from all seventeen regions, annually. NAMCYA has a three-fold program: 1. Discovering outstanding Young Filipino musicians from every region of the country through annual competitions; 2. Developing these musicians through Workshops and Training Programs; and 3. Enhancing and expanding the appreciation for and performance of Filipino music by way of mandated competition repertoire programs and commissioning of new works.
In recognition of the Filipinos’ innate love for music, the National Competitions for Young Artists (NAMCYA) was formally organized in 1973 under Presidential Proclamation No. 1173 and amended on November 1988 as a response to “the imperative need to develop and promote Philippine music as an art and as a handmaid of cultural development.”
PP 1173 has designated the last week of November of each year as National Music Week, with the NAMCYA Competitions as main highlights of the celebration. In 2001, President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo signed Presidential Proclamation No. 80 which affirms NAMCYA’s mission for the nation’s young artists. This Proclamation further designates the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) as the primary supporting agency of this endeavor.
