    YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 30, ARMENPRESS: A 17-year-old Armenian pop singer
    Silva Hakobian is among the finalists in the BBC World Service's
    search for the world's best young band.

    More than 1,000 artists, all aged 18 or under, entered the Next Big
    Thing competition in September.

    The seven finalists are expected to fly into the UK next week to
    perform at the BBC's famous Maida Vale studios. A winner will be
    chosen by a panel of music industry experts.

    The competition was open to groups and solo artists in any genre
    of music, as long as they were under 18 and performed their own
    songs. Entries came from 36 countries, "from Armenia to Azerbaijan
    and from Uruguay to Ukraine".

    The BBC is working with British embassies to help artists arrange
    travel to the UK in time for next week's recording.
