Announcement: Arutpa 2025 – Selected Participants for Final Stage Performance

Dear All,
We are pleased to announce that we have completed the review and finalisation process for participants in the Arutpa 2025 competition. In total, more than 170 students registered for the Thiruarutpa recital; however, only around 130 students successfully participated. uploaded their videos. For this recital, we have created four categories:
Category 1: Under 6 years old
Category 2: Aged 7 to 9
Category 3: Aged 10 to 12
Category 4: Over 15 years old
Category 1 to 3 participants were required to sing three songs without explanation, whereas Category 4 participants needed to sing three songs with explanations. As we publish the list of selected participants on our webpage, you may notice that some entries do not fully comply with the competition rules. We understand that this may have been due to a lack of clarity or understanding during the registration and submission stages.
Overall, we are truly impressed by the talents displayed by all participants. Nevertheless, we observed areas for improvement, especially in memorization, pronunciation, melody, and expressing compassion through the words. Our panel has carefully evaluated each submission and selected candidates who will be invited to perform on stage during the Arutpa 2025 Final, taking place on Saturday, 3rd May 2025 at Asia Pacific University.
Congratulations to all the students who have been selected for the finals!
To all participants — whether selected or not — we sincerely appreciate your efforts and passion. May you continue your journey with blessings and perseverance.
