Legal Information

With his or her application, each participant transfers all of his or her image and audio rights in the context of the competition to its organisers. All jury choices are final and non-disputable. If the maximum performance duration for each round (15 minutes for the first round, 30 minutes for the second round) is exceeded, the jury is allowed to stop the performance at any time. The duration of each performance starts with its first note, and ends with the cessation of the last note of said performance.
Every participant is allowed to play his or her programme (including the compulsory piece) either by heart or from musical score, according to personal preference.
Every participant’s programme needs to be distinct for both rounds, and no two identical pieces in any given programme are allowed. I.e. any given piece cannot be performed again in the same round or in the consecutive round by the same participant.
