Honens International Piano Competition


The Honens International Piano Competition is a classical piano competition held in Calgary, Canada. It took place every four years from 1992 to 2000, and then switched to a three-year cycle thereafter. It awards one of the world's largest competition prizes in classical music—$100,000 and a comprehensive, three-year Artist Development Program, which includes artistic and career guidance and support, worldwide representation for three years, debut recitals in major career-building markets, residencies at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, production of professional recordings released globally on the Honens, Steinway, and Hyperion labels, as well as valuable coaching and mentorship opportunities.
The Competition has been a member of the World Federation of International Music Competitions since 1998.
