We welcome a wide range of interpretations and personal artistry — the focus is on your musicianship and expression.

​

Repertoire

• Free choice of programme — make it your own!

• All works must be solo piano pieces.

• The programme should suit and reflect your current skill level, and may draw from any musical period(s) to showcase variety and depth.

​

Video Recording Requirements

• Videos must be unedited and recorded within the past 12 months from the submission date.

• You may submit multiple separate videos (as long as the total duration stays within the category limit).

• Please ensure the recording clearly shows your face, hands, and (where possible) pedals — we recommend landscape orientation.

​

Submission Guidelines

• Upload your video(s) to a public platform (e.g., YouTube) and set them to “unlisted”.

• Provide the link(s) in the application form.

• In the video title: Include your category and full name (e.g., “Category E – John Smith”).

• In the video description: List each piece with title(s), composer(s), and exact performance duration(s).

Additional Notes

​

• Pianists eligible for Category E are warmly invited to also enter Category F by submitting two separate applications.
