2nd Prize € 10,000.00
3rd Prize € 5,000.00
The other finalists will receive € 1,500.00 each
On the evening of October 12th, during the closing ceremony of the Christopher Columbus Celebrations, the 1st prize-winner will play the “Guarneri del Gesù” (1743), known as the “Cannone”, the violin that Niccolò Paganini left to Genoa, his native city.
The first prize of the “Premio Paganini” is indivisible.
If the Jury decides to award a joint prize to two or more candidates, the prize money will be shared out equally among the winners.
If one or more prizes are not awarded and some finalists (the last in the list of finalists) are not given a prize, the Jury may award them a cash prize not exceeding € 1,500.00.
Following the competition, applicants who claim to have classified in a position not corresponding to their actual position, will be excluded from subsequent editions and their names will be notified to the World Federation of International Music Competitions in Geneva for possible further penalties.
SPECIAL PRIZES
Special prizes have been provided by people and institutions other than the City Council of Genoa which therefore remains extraneous to the relative award methods and procedures.
