Ballet Grand Prix Vienna

The Ballet Grand Prix Vienna is an international ballet and contemporary dance competition, offering young dancers from all over the world the opportunity to present themselves through the art of dance. The competition took place in 1996 (ÖTR Contest) for the first time and has ever since been a great success. Organised by the Austrian New Century Cultural Exchange Association, the mission is to promote excellence in dance, support artistic and cultural diversity, and provide more opportunities for the public to experience the best in classical and contemporary forms. Furthermore, it is our goal to inspire and educate the public about dance through the production and presentation of high-quality events and educational programs, as well as to find established dance artists from around the world and promote them in Vienna, the capital of art and culture. Not only do we offer students the experience to present themselves in the contest pool, but we also aim to provide this opportunity to professional dancers to benefit from learning the best from renowned dance artists.
