Basovišča or Basowiszcza (Басовішча, Basowiszcza, pronounced [baˈsovʲiʂtʂa] in Belarusian; Belarusian Youth Music Festival) is the festival of Belarusian alternative and rock music, which is annually conducted by the Belarusian Association of Students since 1990.

The festival takes place during two July days in the Borak forest in Gmina of Gródek, Poland. The important part of the festival is the music contest, in which young bands compete for prizes - usually money and rights to record their album for free. Well-known stars of Belarusian, Ukrainian and Polish rock-scene usually perform there too. From five to twelve thousand people come to the festival every year.

17th Basovišča was held on 22–23 July 2006. Contest was on second day. It was the first time when a band from Lithuania, IR, took part in it.

Winners:

Other participants: Band A, Krok, RoStra, Termin X, Mozart

In 2006, the organizers faced a ban on the concerts of “Adboryšča” (qualifying rounds for “Basovišča-2006”) in Minsk.

In 2008 Rock-Princess Kasia Kamockaja as a columnist over at naviny.by made such a takeaway on the festival, "„Basovišča“ was conceived not as a festival of Belarusian music in exile, but as a celebration of local Białystok Belarusians."
