Prizes 2024

Awards Ceremony

All prizes are handed over to the prize winners at a public gala concert on Sunday, September 8th, 2024 at the Casino of Velden am Wörthersee, a town near Pörtschach. Usually, all prize sponsors are present and hand over certificates and prize moneys in person.

On this occasion, the first and second prizes will once again present themselves to the audience with a short virtuoso piece (of 4 – 5 minutes maximum length). This gives them the chance to additionally win the prize of the audience of EUR 750.-. Due to limited time it is unfortunately not possible for the third prize winners to play at the gala concert.

This year, the gala concert follows – in a broad sense – the common theme folk music (dance music), if possible in connection with your home.
