• Perform all set and free works from memory. The appendix lists all compulsory works and available score links. Except for the first category’s specified repeats and free order, the official materials do not give a general repeat, repertoire-order, cross-round repetition or concerto rule. The jury may stop an overlength performance or disqualify one below the minimum.
• Rounds are live on 4–8 May 2027. Competitor order is drawn for each round, and first-round entrants in Categories 2–4 perform under numbers. Up to 15 per category may advance. No further finalist forms are published. Prizewinners must attend the closing concert and ceremony. The organizer does not supply an accompanist; for help arranging one, contact hajkova.klavir@seznam.cz. Travel, accommodation and meals are at entrants’ expense.
