The preliminary jury of this year's competition for composers has selected 16 works - including a Hungarian piece - for the international jury, chaired by the world-famous British composer Thomas Adès.

The application form has been published on the website, which means that young composers can apply for the composition category of the Bartók World Competition 2024 from now on. 

Composer-conductor Thomas Adès chairs the International Jury for the 2024 Composers’ Competition, an event with a total prize fund of €10,000 and organised by the Liszt Academy, which expects to receive applications from 18 January.
