PIANO COMPETITION ONLINE


WE HAVE EXTENDED THE APPLICATION DEADLINE

NEW Application deadline: 15 november 2025
Competition results: 22 November 2025



Introduction

The PCO is open to classical solo pianists and piano duos (four-hands or two pianos), worldwide.

Since 2020, our initiative has moved beyond its original focus on early-career support for young musicians, answering a clear need for opportunities that are quicker, more streamlined, and more affordable—without compromising artistic excellence.

In response, we created a fully online piano competition that welcomes participants from anywhere in the world. Musicians can compete from their own homes, schools, or studios, eliminating travel costs and visa hurdles while opening the door to truly global participation.

The competition is conducted entirely online: performances are submitted as high-quality video recordings and evaluated by an international jury using transparent criteria. Clear timelines, streamlined application procedures, and accessible fees ensure a smooth experience for participants. Award announcements and certificates are delivered digitally, and optional juror feedback helps performers understand their strengths and next steps.

By combining rigorous adjudication with an inclusive, technology-driven format, our initiative offers pianists a practical path to international recognition—quickly, fairly, and from anywhere.
