RIGaLIVE 2026 application form

The 12th RIGaLIVE songwriting camp will take place in Riga from November 1 to 3, 2026

Applications are open until August 14, and the selected participants will be notified by September 10.

Your participation will be evaluated based on the information provided in the questionnaire.

This edition of RIGaLIVE is dedicated to music for visual media — films, television, games, and commercials. At the same time, creativity has no limits here: if inspiration leads you to write a song instead of music for a film or the given brief, you are free to follow that path.

Please take care when filling out the form.

We will soon announce seminars and workshops scheduled for November 1 as part of RIGaLIVE, and everyone is welcome to attend, even if not selected for the camp.

And please note that the first edition of Riga Music Week will take place in Riga on November 4 – 6, more info: RIGA MUSIC WEEK
