A Word to All Applicants
First and foremost, thank you to every artist who applied. Your dedication, creativity, and willingness to share your work made this inaugural edition truly meaningful. The level of artistry was exceptional, and selecting among so many strong voices was no easy task.
To all participants: your contribution mattered.
Whether you won the award or not, you helped shape a competition that celebrates Piazzolla’s legacy—not as a monument to the past, but as a living, evolving artistic force.
