I read in the rules of some competitions who are members of World Federation of International Music Competitions that if you won some short time ago 1st or 2nd Prize at the competition member of Wold Federation of International Music Competitions, you don't have to pass through the video-preliminary round, just to send a confirmation of winning the prize. Few days ago I won 2nd Prize at the International Piano Competition in the memory of Vladimir Horowitz in Kiev which is member of the Federation. Could you please give me an answer, should I send a recording for applying in a normal way to your competition or could I send a confirmation diploma of winning this prize and apply without sending a video?

The Takamatsu International Piano Competition requires all applicants to send the video for the preliminary selection. Therefore, please send your recorded performance to us as instructed in the application guideline.
