Jury

With regard to the various professional opportunities awaiting today’s violinists, the competition’s new artistic directors, Antje Weithaas and Oliver Wille, have decided to adjust the jury structure. The 2021 competition jury includes nine members: five violinists and four jury members from concert-related fields. As competition hosts, the artistic directors are not part of any jury.
