There are no restrictions of age, nationality or profession. However, you are ineligible if you derive your income from composing. Entries from earning composers will be automatically disqualified.
Should you win, and if you reside outside of the UK, you will be required to pay for the shipping fees of your chosen piano. Entries cost £25 and must be submitted online as a PDF by Monday 6 December 2021.
