Anyone heard about this music competition?

I found a “grand prize Virtuoso” international music competition online.
Is this a real one? Open internationally to various groups ranging from 6- 25 years of age. They seem to have the selected winners perform at different European locations.

How genuine is this competition?

Thanks.

I have no idea but the entry fee is steep and the likelihood of traveling to perform seems iffy these days.

So wanted to know whether it is a scam or a real international competition.

probably is a real competition, probably no one has heard of it. Would you be able to travel to Europe to perform in the winners concert if you won? It doesnt seem like something that would supplement your college application but could be fun if you won.

I would not think so, especially not with the Delta variant around.

Manhattan school of music precollege has a list of competitions for its students. I just checked, this one is not listed. Good luck, There are lots around that are less expensive and better know.
