The All-Union Conductors Competition was a competition among musical conductors in the Soviet Union from 1938 to 1988. It took place in Moscow for its first time in 1938 when a set of prizes were awarded by a jury chaired by Samuil Samosud and including Nikolai Myaskovsky, Heinrich Neuhaus, Alexander Goldenweiser, Aleksandr Gauk, Dmitri Kabalevsky amongst other relevant musicians. From 1966 to 1988 the competition took place quite regularly, almost every five years.
