The general interest in our competition has again risen and is now, with 648 applicants from all over the world, at an all-time high. Due to the high number of applicants as well as the impressively high standard of the entries, the Jury has decided to increase the number of pianists participating in the Glocal Piano Project from 100 to 120.
