Ti Amo Festival
Ti Amo Festival is an international contest of song interpretation and creation. It’s targeted to promote talented children. TI AMO’s rules are based on their performances regarding pop songs, which they perform in groups, according to their age. On one hand, this festival offers the framework for some real talents; on the other hand, the cultural and artistic exchanges will lead to a strong friendship between the children and TI AMO’s team. The Contest also serves as a means how to make the Trotus area and Moldavia zone known abroad.
The Festival
The Festival is held in Onesti, Romania. Its first two editions were organised in 1996 and 1997. Then from 1998, it was divided into two sections for local and international talent and was organised that way until 2015. It is expected to resume in 2017.
