Worth knowing. Eleven editions and a confirmed pre-pro track, with four amateur levels and three pre-pro levels in classical. The site blocks automated access: ages, fees and repertoire rules can only be obtained by contacting the organisers.

Built from official websites and published rulebooks, checked in September 2026. Nothing is guessed: where a date, a fee or a jury is not published, the guide says so rather than inventing one. Rules change from season to season — always check the competition's own site before entering.
