However there will be a number of activities leading up to the Grand Final Concert. Our Mission Statement declares that it will "promote and direct the Australian National Piano Award as a competition of the highest calibre, nationally and internationally recognised for its standard of excellence, its challenge to the participants and its educational benefits to youth". The competition is not judged on a single flashy performance. Instead, throughout a series of recitals, contestants must demonstrate a sound technique alongside a broad knowledge of a varied and comprehensive repertoire. Neil Werner OAM President
