Win the competition, or two
This is a new accessible way to attend a competition from wherever you are. You only pay 1 registration fee and attend 2 competitions – you may also get a scholarship for free attendance. And the best of all: with one registration fee and using the same videos, you may win two competitions!
The No age limit category of the guitar competition 2021 will be organised for the 2nd time together with Spain. The name of this shared event is The International Classical Guitar 2 in 1 Online Competition 2.0. By applying to the competition you will attend to 2 international competitions, The 4th International Classical Guitar Competition of Finland and the Spanish José Tomás Villa de Petrer International Guitar Competition - XX anniversary, which are held together as an online video competition.
To help with the financial issues in the field of culture, we have launched a Scholarship round to share scholarships to the guitar players around the world. You may either attend this Scholarship round or apply directly to Round 1 of the competition, or both if needed.
