Iscrizione & quota

Each level is paid separately: 1–4 €45, 5–8 €50, 9–11 €60, Excellence €70. Fees are refundable only if cancelled by organizers. A unanimous first prize requires moving up the following year. If entering two levels, only the best result counts for the award.
- The 2027 form asks for contact data, nationality, birth date, level, selected repertoire, harp brand and optional model details. It links online payment and does not list recommendation letters.

For the final, play both Albert Zabel’s Concerto in C minor Op. 35 movement I (edition free) and Parish-Alvars La mandoline (Billaudot). Omit the video work.
