The tenth annual International Antonín Dvořák Composition Competition applications were received until April 5, 2019.
From among the applicants, Twenty four have been selected to participate in the second round of judging.
The judges who participated in the judging committee took careful interest to ensure that all judgments were made fairly.
Unfortunately, we were not able to select all the outstanding compositions received. The International Antonín Dvořák Composition Competition will do its best to continue to seek out and support able world-wide composers.
We hope to see those of you who were not selected next year with even more outstanding compositions.
Thank you.
