- International Jury: each single application will be evaluated by the jury through the video materials presented by each participant. A panel of international judges (soloists, agents, promoters, professors), will evaluate the video material submitted, and the final selections of winners will be based solely on the video recordings submitted. Judges are independent, and their students are not permitted to participate in the competition. The judges' votes will be strictly confidential, and will not be shared nor published.
