We are delighted with the number and quality of entries to CGWC 2026. In fact, we have decided to extend the prizes for 2nd and 3rd place... see the website for details.

The top 17 players were in a class of their own, and so these are the performers that we will admit to the semi final. We will announce the qualifiers next Saturday.

The closing date for the semi final round remains the same.

We hope to have interviews with all 17 semi finalists to be broadcast on our YouTube channel alongside their music video entries!

Thank you to all the people who took their time to enter CGWC 2026 - the world's largest online classical guitar competition.

Stay tuned!
