"These categories are definitely open to any musician or composer, so everyone is sure to find the category they identify with in terms of composition and musical arrangement. The entire process of registering for the competition, composing a new song, working on attractive visuals, and doing the final mixing and mastering in your studio before delivering entries is very interesting and highly creative. Judging from the responses of our contestants in previous years, it is also a way for many artists to have some fun and take a break from their everyday work, which we're very pleased about," said FMC director Vlado Zeleznak Jr.

Fresh from working on the latest album by the legendary Red Hot Chili Peppers, Meller said, "I'm looking forward to FMC 2022 and all the contestants and their original compositions very much, especially in the instrumental music category since it will be very interesting to compare the level to previous years."
