Nézze élőben a Bartók Világversenyt! Watch the live stream here!

On Sunday evening, 31 August, the youngest entrant, fifteen-year-old Chinese Michael Jiang, drew the number of the contestant who will be the first to perform, according to the tradition of the institution's competitions: it will be Anastasiia Kliuchereva from Russia, and she is followed by in alphabetical order.

 Based on video recordings submitted by each applicant, the pre-selection jury – consisting of renowned professors of Liszt Academy –, will select those who will advance to the live rounds.

We have partly modified the repertoire and simplified the application process, and also extended the deadline until 31 May.
