This summer the Van Cliburn Foundation hosts its third Cliburn
Amateur Piano Video Contest. Beginning June 15, 2012, pianists 35
years and older who do not derive their primary income from the
performance, instruction, or composition of music can submit
performance videos of 5-10 minutes in length through a special
portal that will be available on the Cliburn's Facebook page and
Web site. The winner will be determined by public voting and will
receive automatic entry into the seventh International Piano
Competition for Outstanding Amateurs™. Described by the Boston
Globe as "a celebration of music, and the people who have to
make music no matter what," the next Amateur Competition will be
held in May 2015, on the campus of TCU.
