Important Notice – 2026 Competition

The number of applications received for the 2026 edition is a clear indication of the growing interest in our competition.

The review of the submitted applications is still in progress, as we are carefully assessing each candidate to ensure a thorough and fair selection process for admission to the Preliminary Round, to be held on 15 September 2026.

Consequently, the 31 July deadline specified in the Competition Rules for confirming participation and submitting the required repertoire is no longer applicable. Candidates who are admitted to the Preliminary Round will receive further instructions by email, including a revised deadline for completing these requirements.

All candidates will be informed of the outcome of the pre-selection process as soon as the evaluation has been completed.

We sincerely thank all applicants for their patience, understanding, and continued interest in the competition.
