We are looking for piano pieces written for children and young adults which, although limited in their technical difficulty, remain uncompromising in their artistic aim; pieces written with a contemporary compositional technique which offer the young student stimulus, insight and new experiences: experiences about oneself and the world in which we live. Composers younger than 40 years can submit pieces for piano that are suitable for children and young adults by 15 August 2015. The prize money totals 10,000 Euros.
