Söngkeppni framhaldsskólanna explained
The Singing Contest of Icelandic Junior Colleges (Söngkeppni framhaldsskólanna) is a yearly competition that has been held since 1990 on behalf of "The Icelandic Upper Secondary School Student Union". Each year, a preliminary competition is held in each college and then representatives from each school compete on the final evening of the main competition. The singing contest is usually held before the end of the school year.
No one school has monopolized the competition, which is not the case in some of the other college competitions.
