The winners of 1st, 2nd, 3rd place have performed their pieces with good technique appropriate and expected in their age category. The awards were presented by judges based on their individual scoring concluded with further discussions.

The Best Performance of a Henryk Wieniawski’s Work Award is issued by the Henryk Wieniawski Musical Society in Poznan, Poland. It is important to note, this award is decided by Assembly of Judges of the competition not by the Henryk Wieniawski Musical Society. It is presented to participants who balanced their technical skills and musical interpretation of the Wieniwski’s piece they played. Participants may have not played on as high technical level as the 1st, 2nd, 3rd Prize winners in their age category but stand out in their combined technique and musicality while performing the Wieniawski’s piece.

Consul General of Poland Award is presented to participants in recognition of their skills and competitive spirit who have tremendous potential attaining 1st, 2nd or 3rd Prize or other outstanding results in the future.

Certificate of Honor Award is presented to participants who are at the early stage of their musical journey but deserve recognition and encouragement for their skills and persistence to excel in the future.

All awards are presented based on a summary of individual appraisals concluded with collective discussions. None of the awards is based on a single opinion of a particular Judge. All opinions are shared, discussed, concluded and finally approved in the presence of Head of Jury and the Director of the Competition. This includes the Henryk Wieniawski’s Awards that were issued by Henryk Wieniawski Musical Society in Poland.
