This Competition is open to all current students of the Royal Academy of Music. Where piano accompanists form part of a duo, they must be current students or have graduated from the Academy not more than two years previously.

To be prepared: A programme of the students’ own choice, lasting not more than
20 minutes. At least 10 minutes of music must be by Delius, and
should be a complete work or works. The programme may also
include a work or works (part or whole) by other composers who
were contemporaries of Delius (1862-1934).

The Final of the Competition, which is open to the general public, has been announced on the Royal Academy of Music’s website:
