About the App

The main purpose of this app is to facilitate the voting process for the jury by allowing them to enter points for the competitors in real-time.

This app is made for one music competition in Croatia, The International Competition for Young Musicians Sonus. It is a manifestation which takes place annually with the contestants from the country and region, along with the prestigious Croatian and, from 2017, foreign music pedagogues as the members of the Competition jury. The music school Albert Štrige Križevci is the co-organizer of the competition and the host.
