Our competition is a great opportunity to prove themselves to both novice composers and experienced masters, both professionals with a conservatory education, and amateur authors, both citizens of Russia and foreign colleagues. The conditions of the competition are democratic and fair: the complete anonymity of the participants and members of the jury will be maintained until the results of the competition are summed up, which will allow an honest and objective assessment of the compositions submitted to the competition; the presence of both professional composers and concert performers in the jury will allow to approach the assessment of the composition from different positions; the division of the participants into the nominations "young composers", "amateurs", "professional musicians", "professional composers" will give a chance to sound the works of authors who do not have professional composing and musical education, which can become a very important feature of our competition – if we recall the history of music, many serious composers of the past centuries were self-taught, but their works, including large-scale forms (operas, symphonies) have been performed by leading performers in the largest theaters and concert halls of the world for many years. Well, the prospect of performing and recording compositions by professional artists and creative teams is a great incentive for many authors to create, and, of course, to participate in our competition!
