The first prize was withheld at the piano round of the widely-watched Ard competition in Munich. But a South Korean Chi Ho Han (22) was given second prize and the public award and her compatriot Kang-Un Kim (25) shared third.

In Budapest, Taeguk Mun, a cellist at the New England Conservatory, was crowned winner of the Pablo Casals competition.
